RMI serialVersioinUID problem

[Michael Haupt]

Hi,

as for versions, I'm using GNU classpath 0.07 on a Jikes RVM 2.3.1.

The Jikes RVM runs an in-process RMI server (no external rmiregistry 
process), and the RMI client runs on Sun's HotSpot 1.4.2_01. The client 
invokes a method xyz(MyContainer a, MyContainer b), where MyContainer is 
a class with some String members.

The problem is that Jikes won't accept the parameters; it keeps 
complaining about incompatible classes like this:

<< Local class not compatible: stream 
serialVersionUID=-8304817736476104138, local 
serialVersionUID=5146507109805202919 >>

This keeps happening, even if I explicitly set a "private static final 
long serialVersionUID" in the MyContainer class. (Jikes doesn't seem to 
recognise the custom serialVersionUID.)

Has anybody a hint for me? Am I doing something wrong? Is it a Jikes RVM 
issue? (I believe it has something to do with Classpath's RMI 
implementation.)

Thanks in advance,

Michael Haupt
