I think this is wrong. It is better that the object fails to serialize so people realize fast that the object cannot be properly serialized. -- BJ Hargrave Senior Technical Staff Member, IBM OSGi Fellow and CTO of the OSGi Alliance [email protected] office: +1 386 848 1781 mobile: +1 386 848 3788 From: "Richard S.

So you run into issues if you actually try to serialize a BundleEvent. The only potential solution is to modify the standard BundleEvent class impl to declare these two fields as transient in the next spec release. -> richard On 8/4/11 11:16, Martin Petzold wrote: BundleEvent extends EventObject and thus implements Serializable [1], did you perhaps mean org.osgi.service.event.Event. Would be great to have org.osgi.service.event.Event serializable. I had some problems about this while implementing a remote event admin some time ago.

However, BundleEvent and others are not serialiable and as I understand are not intended to be. Any chance the base class will change or am I stuck with this? I would rather not have special logic which ignore these types of object when sending them through RMI (or other times serializing is involved).
