Oh。it's so great。From this mail I notice an effective ask, a good
answer 。In the different companies to different people collaborate
with each other to promote technology development
I was a newer, I see the power of the community, it's great.
Charles may be come from oracle,
Jimmy come from IBM in China,
I come from China .
Everyone can get benefits:
Charles of the issue is resolved
Jimmy received a feedback
I learned more about how to participate in community.

>> Hello,
>>
>> I have submitted Jira HARMONY-6439 for this issue. Credit to my
>> colleagues Mark Hayes and Haomian Wang for narrowing this down.
>>
>> Harmony object serialization has an initialization bug that causes
>> NullPointerException when overriding the
>> ObjectInputStream.readClassDescriptor and
>> ObjectOutputStream.writeClassDescriptor methods, in order to store the
>> ObjectStreamClass elsewhere. In Berkeley DB Java Edition, overriding
>> these methods is necessary to store the ObjectStreamClass in a separate
>> database, to avoid repeating it redundantly in every database record.
>> This type of overriding is supported by the Java specification, and the
>> problem does not occur in other Java class libraries (specifically, the
>> bug does not occur on the Sun, IBM and BEA Java platforms).
>>
>> The attached test demonstrates the problem by simply serializing and
>> deserializing an object to/from a byte array, when readClassDescriptor
>> and writeClassDescriptor are overridden. A NullPointerException occurs
>> because of an uninitialized field during the call to readObject.
>>
>> C:\temp>java -classpath . ClassDescriptorOverrideBug

>> the serializable class.
>>
>> A workaround for this bug is to serialize and deserialize the
>> ObjectStreamClass before it is used. Apparently deserialization causes
>> initialization to occur correctly.
