Description
Running into this problem with my object tree, which I cannot modify (testing already written code).
The serialization goes up the tree until it encounters a GTKLookAndFeel object. This class extends SynthLookAndFeel which throws a NotSerializableException as part of its writeObject method. The SynthLookAndFeel class comments state:
- This class implements {@link Serializable} as a side effect of it
- extending {@link BasicLookAndFeel}. It is not intended to be serialized.
- An attempt to serialize it will
- result in {@link NotSerializableException}.
While this might not be very clean implementation for SynthLookAndFeel, it shouldn't prevent XStream to serialize the tree using a different converter, instead of the current behavior of throwing a ConversionException.
I've added a LookAndFeelConverter implementation that is based on reflection. You may give the current head revision a try.
