Peter,

It looks like I have the same problem as Roni. When I save a java Object in
the database, it seems that I get an array of byte in return (creating
potentially a ClassCastException).

It is the same if I use jdk1.2.2 or 1.3.

The strange thing is that it was working fine before but I have no idea what
as changed in my application to create that problem.

It looks like InstantDB cannot recognize the class of the object thus
returning an array of byte.

Any clue??

Sorry, but I'm at a loss to explain why simple.java should be generating a
ClassCastException. I've tried with JDK 1.3 as well and it seemed OK. All
InstantDB does is serialize the object to a byte array and then save that to
disk. It then does the reverse to retrieve it.

Any serialization experts out there who could hazard a guess at the possible
source of the problem? Anyone seen anything similar?

Sorry - not at the moment.

Regards

Pete
