java.rmi.MarshalException: CORBA MARSHAL 0[]

[Lucian Ion]

Hi,
I'm using VisiBroker for Java 4.5 with j2skd1.3.0. When I try to call a
remote method returning a Vector ,
org.omg.CORBA_2_3.portable.OutputStream::write_value() that gets called
inside the implementation base ( RemoteInterfaceNamePOA) throws a
java.rmi.MarshalException: CORBA MARSHAL 0[] which is then received by the
client. The stack is at the end. I'm running both the server and the client
using vbj so I suppose I'm not by mistake using jdk instead of vbjorb.jar.
Stub, skeleton, helper etc are generated with java2iiop from a java
interface extending java.rmi.Remote. The call works fine for other return
types. The Visibroker's release notes say that it's been tested with
jdk1.1.8, 1.2.2 and 1.3.0. I tried to use it with 1.4 but it can't find
jvm.dll in the /jre/bin/classic or hotspot directory. jdk1.4 has the dirs
client and server instead. Should I try renaming one of them to classic?
I've seen this marshaling problem described in tons of other posts, just
never
seen a clear answer to it and no workaround has been good for me.

Thanks in advance,
Lucian

This shows that the data you are putting in the vector does not implement
java.io.Serializable interface.

Hope this helps

That was it, it's working now. Although it looks obvious, I wouldn't have
figured it out myself in years :)

Thank you very much for your help
