Class serialization help (org.omg.CORBA.MARSHAL: WARNUNG: IOP00810011: Exception... error)

Question

I have the following interface:

public interface Ranged
{
  public Object getRangeStart();
  public Object getRangeEnd();

  public void setRangeStart(Object rangeStart);
  public void setRangeEnd(Object rangeEnd);
}

and the following implementing class:

public class DateRange implements Ranged, Serializable
{
  private static final long serialVersionUID=SerialVersionUID.getSerialVersionUID();
  public DateRange()
  {

  }

  private Date  dateFrom;
  private Date  dateTo;

  public Object getRangeStart()
  {
    return (Date)dateFrom;
  }

  public Object getRangeEnd()
  {
    return (Date)dateTo;
  }

  public void setRangeStart( Object from )
  {
    this.dateFrom = (Date)from;
  }

  public void setRangeEnd( Object to )
  {
    this.dateTo = (Date)to;
  }
}

I use the DateRange class in the following way:

...
private DateRange  creationDate;
private Date    rangeStart;
private Date    rangeStop;
...

public DateRange getCreationDate()
{
  SimpleDateFormat sdf_incoming = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
  SimpleDateFormat sdf_outgoing = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");

  creationDate = null;

  try
  {
    if (!isDateRange())
    {
      if (!rangeStart.toString().equals(""))
      {
        creationDate = new DateRange();
        creationDate.setRangeStart(sdf_outgoing.parse(sdf_incoming.format(rangeStart) + TIME_0));
        creationDate.setRangeEnd(sdf_outgoing.parse(sdf_incoming.format(rangeStart) + TIME_24));
      }
    }
    else
    {
      if (!rangeStart.toString().equals("") && rangeStop.toString().equals(""))
      {
        creationDate = new DateRange();
        creationDate.setRangeStart(sdf_outgoing.parse(sdf_incoming.format(rangeStart) + TIME_0));
        creationDate.setRangeEnd(sdf_outgoing.parse(MAX_DATE));
      }
      else if (rangeStart.toString().equals("") && !rangeStop.toString().equals(""))
      {
        creationDate = new DateRange();
        creationDate.setRangeStart(sdf_outgoing.parse(MIN_DATE));
        creationDate.setRangeEnd(sdf_outgoing.parse(sdf_incoming.format(rangeStop) + TIME_24));
      }
      else
      // both set
      {
        creationDate = new DateRange();
        creationDate.setRangeStart(sdf_outgoing.parse(sdf_incoming.format(rangeStart) + TIME_0));
        creationDate.setRangeEnd(sdf_outgoing.parse(sdf_incoming.format(rangeStop) + TIME_24));
      }
    }
  }
  catch (ParseException e)
  {
    e.printStackTrace();
  }

 return creationDate;
}
...

This happens at the client side and when the creationDate should be serialized and passed to the server side, I get the following error:

Am I missing something? I'm really lost. DateRange implements Serializable and (java.util)Date should also be serializable. Let me know if more informations are needed.

Answer 1

Error found. The DateRange class was not on the server side, so the server didn't know how to de-serialize it.
