It looks like it thinks you are sending the CustomFieldSerializer itself over the wire, so wants to find a serializer serializer... The extra prefixed package name "com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.core" indicates that it wasn't able to find your field serializer in the normal package where it should be - consider knocking off that part and just make a com.googlecode. objectify.impl.ref.StdRef_CustomFieldSerializer with the appropriate static methods.
In my brief re-read, I'm not seeing anywhere where the serializer gets passed in as a class to find another serializer for it - this fits with my previous experience where you just create a serializer and let RPC invoke it, no questions asked. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
