The serialVersionUID is part of the binary compatibility therefore it should be set to be sure. Setting it implies though that you update it every time you change the binary layout of the class (ot take further actions to keep serialization compatibility). Without using an explicit value, the serialVeeionUID is computed on its own and you might not even notice the problem (in former times different compilers created sometimes different UIDs). In our code we set it normally to the date of last modification if the binary layout e.g. 20101102L. - Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
