The only objects we are putting into the cache are
CqtRFQEstimateCollector
and CqtEstimateEvent (both are Serializable). The objects mentioned in
these
stacktraces (CqtRFQSpecQuote, CqtSupplierQuoteKey and ItcMoney) are
objects
that are held within the CqtRFQEstimateCollector object, and are not
Serializable. These exceptions do not make sense to me, since JCS
shouldn't
even be trying to serialize these objects. Before I go ahead and start
modifying more objects, I just wanted to make sure I'm doing things
right.
If you declare an object as serializable, but it contains objects
that are not serializable, you have to declare those objects transient.
transient CqtRFQSpecQuote specQuote = new CqtRFQSpecQuote("that's a
godawful class name!");
Then no attempt will be made to serialize those members of the
CqtRFQEstimateCollector or CqtEstimateEvent classes, when they're
serialized. Obviously, then, they'd be null, when they're pulled out of
the cache. So, one way or another, you'll have to account for them:
either make them (and any non-serializable objects *they* contain)
serializable, or go through all the rest of your code making sure it
won't NPE all over the place, when it uses an instance that's been cached.
