Thanks for the response.
I did a little bit of reaidng about serialVersionUID and found this from
http://serialver.sourceforge.net/serialver.html The static member variable called serialVersionUID can be included in the code of the new class version that implements a compatible modification. So, all objects serialized by the original class are compatible with the new class.
There they say a versioned class must declare something like this:
private static final long serialVersionUID = 3487495895819393L;
My question is will adding a constant like this have any problems viz. different JVM"s ? We run our code on different platforms
TIA
