Serialization problem

[yolimau]

Hi all,
i´m programming a application in a plataform that uses RMI, and when i have to move some information i have this error:

java.rmi.MarshalException: error marshalling arguments; nested exception is:
java.io.NotSerializableException: java.io.PrintWriter
at sun.rmi.server.UnicastRef.invoke(Unknown Source)

....

i´m working in a class that extends another class that implements serializable (io), and the kind of data is String, but the error or serializable is there.

i have tried to put the data static, but the data changes to "NEW"

what can i do for fix this serializable problem?

thanks

if you have the property in your class that has the PrintWriter type, then try declaring this property as 'transient'. Transient properties are not attempted to be serialized.

Though this usually means you will need to implement your own readObject() to have it set up this property after the object is de-serialized. for example, perhaps PrintWriter is the System.out. or a File output stream kind of thing. How should that get re-initialized after the object has been serialized. I mean, fixing serialization to not try to serialize this object reference to that resource will fix serialization, but without also re-establishing what that object is after deserializing it, the application will still likely have problems.

thanks works perfect :)
