Hi all - looking for a bit of help or direction. I'm having a bit of a problem trying to bind an Object-type implementing Referenceable to JNDI. There's a requirement here that the object can't be saved in a Serialized way, it needs to be a reference so it's kept alive in memory even after I've disconnected to it. Hopefully someone can help - i've tried to lay it out below as simply as I can. -> I've got an Object-Type that implements Referenceable (I've implemented the getReference() function appropriately I hope: public Reference getReference(){ | | // the ObjectTreeRefAddr is a class I wrote implementing RefAddr | // so that I can store away a whole "live" object, and not just String props | ObjectTreeRefAddr refAddr = new ObjectTreeRefAddr("objecttree", this); | Reference myRef = new Reference(ObjectTree.class.getName(), | refAddr, | ObjectTreeFactory.class.getName(), null); | // debug-code, below will return the Reference correctly | ObjectTreeRefAddr newRefAddr = (ObjectTreeRefAddr)myRef.get(0); | | return myRef; | } I've also created the Factory for this ObjectTree class but the problem i'm having is when I go to Bind(), not really at the Lookup part yet. // Following code breaks... | context.bind("objecttree", myObj); | | // ...With the following error: | /* Problem binding: | javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.rmi.MarshalException: error marshalling arguments; nested exception is: | java.io.NotSerializableException: com.company.work.ObjectTree] | */ I think (hope) i'm doing this correctly - it binds just fine if I use a StringRefAddr instead of trying to bind the Object Reference. I'm also hoping that this is even possible. Again it's got to be a Referenceable and not a Serializable (a forced decision). Thanks, in advance, to anyone that could offer suggestions.
