Hi,


Hi Ito !


Interested in Prevayler (http://www.prevayler.org/), which is marked untested in our "Compatibility - Application Testing", I tried it.

The result was unsatisfactory.  The simplest demo of Prevayler
cannot run on kaffe.  After studying the cause of the error,
I found something buggy in java.io.ObjectInputStream.

My test program is attaced below.  The test shows that a
field that is marked "final" cannot be restored by
java.io.ObjectInputStream#readObject.


This is linked to ObjectStreamField.java:67


toset = !Modifier.isFinal(field.getModifiers());

I guess it was placed there for a good reason but I don't remember which one. We have to check in the spec again.


The reason was quite evident... you can't set a final variable. It's rather someone sets (or doesn't set) A to the right value when it is initializing a new instance using readObject().


Cheers,

Guilhem.
