JESS: serializable respect transient?

[Ed Meier]

Jess folk,       I have a situation where I need to put a non-serializable object into my UserFunction for Jess to call. It is out of my control to make the object serializable.  I declared it "transient" but I still get "not serializable" errors.   Like so:   class CallMeBack implements UserFunction, Serializable {     private transient NotSerializing dontSerialMe;     public getName (..)   {       yada-yada     }   }     Must my callback function implement Serializable?    Is there anything I should know about Jess and serialization with respect to transient variables?   I suspect the error is on somebody else, but I just want to check to be sure.   Thanks in advance, Ed Meier Clark Software Engineering, Ltd.
