Is there a way to determine the generated serialVersionUID
of a serialized Java object?
The problem is that I serialized an object without explicitely specifying the serialVersionUID
. Now the deserialization process complains about class incompatibilities. However I didn't change the class in a way which would make it incompatible. So I assume that it is enough to specify the serialVersionUID
in the class as it is stored in the object data. In order to do this I need to read the serialVersionUID
from the serialized data.
This works for me:
long serialVersionUID = ObjectStreamClass.lookup(YourObject.getClass()).getSerialVersionUID();
Hope it helps you too.
