128468 - java.io.NotSerializableException: org.mozilla.javascript.NativeError

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Rhino Graveyard :: Core, defect)

Description

[andrew]

While org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError is a subclass of 
java.lang.RuntimeException and thus Serializable, it contains a 
org.mozilla.javascript.NativeError that is not serializable. As a result, 
receive a NotSerializableException when serializing an EcmaError

I agree this is annoying especially when rhino is executed remotly (RMI/J2EE). I
don't see any problems with making NativeError serializeable, but maybe there is?

Comment 3

[Igor Bukanov]

NativeError inherits from IdScriptable which is a subclass of ScriptableObject
whih implements Serializable interface since 1.5R3 release. 

I suggest to mark this as invalid unless detailed test/Rhino version case is
provided.

Comment 4

[Phil Schwartau]

Marking INVALID since the 1.5R3 release should be OK on this.
Note: this is obtainable at ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/js, along
with an even more recent version of Rhino.

Andrew: please reopen if this is still a problem with the
new releases; thanks -
