Manik Surtani updated ISPN-1359:
--------------------------------

                  Assignee: Galder Zamarreño  (was: Manik Surtani)
             Fix Version/s: 5.2.0.FINAL
    Workaround Description: Don't use an externaliser for TreeSets, and it will fall back to more traditional (and slower) forms of serialization.
                Workaround: [Workaround Exists]
                  Priority: Minor  (was: Major)
                Complexity: Medium

> TreeSets can be used to hold objects that don't implement Comparable, so long as you provide a Comparator during construction.  The current implementation of SetExternalizer doesn't support this pattern... trying to deserialize a TreeSet that holds objects that don't implement Comparable results in a ClassCastException.  This seriously reduces the flexibility of TreeSet.
> JBoss Cache doesn't have this limitation, presumably because it delegates to native Java serialization.
