Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I am trying to put my own Serializable objects into a Topic.

I have a message driven bean listening on this and in the method onMessage, i try to cast the object received to the Serializable object sent.

I get the following error

weblogic.jms.common.JMSException: Error deserializing object

In my client program that publishes messages to a topic, the code looks like this

class Result implements Serializable {
....
....
}


Result result = new Result();
result.setXXX();
........
logger.info( rslt);

I use the JMSAppender provided by the Log4j. So, I donot have a reference to a Topic object and neither can i invoke topic.createObjectMesage.....

In my MDB, I write like this...


if (message instanceof ObjectMessage)
{
ObjectMessage m = (ObjectMessage) message;
Result rslt = (Result) m.getObject();
/* looks like the m.getObject returns a org.apache.log4j.spi.LoggingEvent
and it has a getMessage() method ...but it returns a string ... and i get a classcastexception
*/
}


I get the Error deserializing object error at the line where i try to getObject() abd cast it to Result.

I use WebLogic 8.1.

Any help in this regard is appreciated.
