Are you sure it's the same error? If so, then you probably still have
an old copy of the class file for WorkNature sitting around somewhere.

If the error is a little different, then it might be something else.
Specifically, I suspect you might be misunderstanding the relationship
between WorkNature and myJavaProgram; if WorkNature is an inner class,
you need to ask yourself if that's really necessary, and if so how to
handle that in serialization (do you make myJavaProgram serializable,
for example, or something else).

Change your code.
Do not catch Exception, catch only the subclasses that are thrown.
ie IOException etc. That's just good practise.
In your catch block, put:
e.printStackTrace() for more meaningful debugging info.

Maybe it is best they got to it first.

Which, given it was written by me, pretty
much sums up the best advice I can muster
on general tips for solving exceptions.

There is a group that might be better for you
at this stage. A group where folks are a great

Thanks for the info. Especially the tips/solves...
I might jump into it often.

Well, I have added "implements Serializable" to the class WorkAround.
But I haven't put "implements Serializable" to the calling class.

Is it necessary?

You only need it on the objects you want to output, or the objects
they point to.

For the most part, pretty much the same people follow both groups, in my
experience.

I don't know, mainly because I don't know what class WorkAround is. It
doesn't seem to have any relation to any of the relevant classes at all,
so chances are it doesn't need to be serializable.

Yes, but AFAIAC, it's smart questions or
merciless ridicule on c.l.j.programmer.
OTOH, When I post to c.l.j.h., I take
more care to be 'patient and helpful'.
Some others do as well.

The difference is not the *names* of the
people, but the 'way they hold their faces'
when answering questions.
