local class incompatible, while I do declare serialVersionUID

**Norberhuis** · 01-09-2009, 11:41 AM

Hello,

I get the: local class incompatible: stream classdesc serialVersionUID = -6641190487037000263, local class serialVersionUID = -3852747894808199202 error while I do declare private static final long serialVersionUID = -3852747894808199202L; in my class.

I am running the server and client on the same computer and I am using eclipse within the same package to run.

I tried somethings and I did get it to work. I do not know what I changed to make it work.

The object in the stream had some other serial version; I can't tell where it came from. Apparently, when you ran it again, the stream was created with your object. That's the purpose of the serialVersionUID, to make sure what you put in and what you try to get it out into are the same.
