EventObject implements Serializable so any class extending it should be
serializable as well. 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
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.

I think you are stuck with this. It was a design mistake in R1 (c. 1999)
to base these classes on EventObject. Mea culpa.
There is no way to make them serializable. Bundle and ServiceReference
(types referenced by these classes) are not serializable and cannot be
made so. There is no way to
I do mean BundleEvent and as you were saying it extends EventObject and
thus implements Serializable. Therefore, I was expecting it to be
serializable. However, I know for Felix it is implemented with a
BundleImpl member that is not serializable so you get a
NotSerializableException when trying
Is there a reason fields of those types couldn't be made transient?

Isn't that the point of the transient to mark items of a serializable
class that can't be serialized? Is there a reason that shouldn't be
done?

I agree with BJ, I would prefer to fail fast instead of ending up with
serialized BundleEvents that have no meaning.

I'm personally fine with it.

Is there a notserializable javadoc tag? :-)
