IOObjectReader does not work with plugin classes

Username

Hi,

I am writing a custom plugin for RM. The IOObjectReader operator does not work with IOObjects from my plugin. The operator throws a ClassNotFoundException in line 65 (I'm using the built in Java object serialization). Everything else from my plugin works without problems.

Here's the stack trace of the exception:

Exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Hello,

I am assuming that you have written the object with the IOObjectWriter. Does your new IOObject extend AbstractIOObject? This is probably necessary if the generic IOObject writing and reading properly works.

As a workaround you could of course always write a pair of Reading / Writing operators for your object yourself - but of course if would be easier to use the generic ones. So we should try to get this working.

Cheers,
Ingo
