    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4019?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12674232#comment-12674232 ] 

Scott Marlow commented on AS7-4019:
-----------------------------------

I'm not sure about the JPA part of this yet but looking at the second stack trace [here|https://community.jboss.org/message/721737#721737], it looks like org.jboss.marshalling.reflect.ReflectiveCreator.create() is creating a new instance of the target class which is different than what Java serialization happens to implement.  My quick look at [the serialization specification|http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/platform/serialization/spec/serialTOC.html] didn't find any requirements specified about whether transient fields are initialized or not during deserialization.  

Unless, I am missing something (in the Java language specification or serialization specification), the handling of Java transient fields (during deserialization) is implementation specific and should be documented, so users know what to expect.

> Java transient field with default values restore the default value after deserialisation. 
> This behaviour is different from the old remoting and standard java serialisation.
