Re: JESS: serializable respect transient?

[James C. Owen]

Sorry I'm so long in answering this one, but I just returned to the old home site and read all of my email from about mid-October or so.  I'll be back again about Thanksgiving. Anyway!  There is a most excellent article on this subject in the October 2000 issue of Java Report, beginning on page 60. Happy reading!  :-0 Ed Meier wrote: 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 MeierClark Software Engineering, Ltd.Dayton, OH  -- ttfn IHN Jim --------------------------------- James C.
