[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (SECURITY-341) Default serialVersionUID (=1L) in class org.jboss.security.SimplePrincipal prevents interoperability with external tools (e.g. JBossTools)

[Anil Saldhana (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/SECURITY-341?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12449356#action_12449356 ] 

Anil Saldhana commented on SECURITY-341:
----------------------------------------

Most of the serialized classes are new to JBoss AS5, so they can have a serialUID of 1.  We should probably retain them for JBAS5 classes and remove the ones for the classes that existed prior to AS5 such as SimplePrincipal.

Thanks for the error report.

> The serialVersionUID field in class SimplePrincipal is set to 1L instead of the expected 7701951188631723261L. This breaks compatibility with the external tools, preventing interaction with the server.
> Specifically, the application server started from within Eclipse fails early (in about or less than 1 second from starting) with the following exception:
