Re: [Simple-support] Beginner Question

Hi,

The class attribute is a special attribute that is ignored by the deserialization. Can you use object.getClass().getName() ?

Also you dont need to cast, the following.

TaskInterface o = (TaskInterface) serializer.read(TaskInterface.class,
serializedText);

works as:

TaskInterface o = serializer.read(TaskInterface.class,
serializedText);

Its casted by the class type TaskInterface.class, the return type is autocasted at compile time.

Hope this helps,
Niall
