Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
In previous versions of JBoss EAP 6 an exception could be thrown when IBM and Oracle JVMs communicate by serializing a `StringBuilder` or `StringBuffer` class. This was caused by the marshalling protocol erroneously serializing a class descriptor for the first non-serializable superclass of a serializable class. This issue has been resolved in this version of the product with an upgrade to the JBoss Marshalling component.

Description Brad Maxwell 2014-01-13 13:46:30 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1032312 +++

Protocol versions up to 3 of the River marshalling protocol erroneously serialize a class descriptor for the first non-serializable superclass of a serializable class.

This manifests itself particularly when an IBM JVM and a Sun JVM communicate by serializing a StringBuilder or StringBuffer class. The Sun JDK contains a shared superclass called AbstractStringBuilder which is not present in IBM's version.

In version 4 the stream should be marked with a NULL when the first non-serializable class is hit.  For version 3 though we can just mark it with java.lang.Object because that is also a single byte and should work as well (in 1.4 at least, this class is only used to detect the end of the chain; it is not used to make decisions about what constructor to invoke).  Only the sender needs to change; the receiver should continue functioning.
