[Bug libgcj/21785] New: [regression] ClassNotFound during deserialization

[bonniot at users dot sf dot net]

This very simple serialization/deserialization test fails. This is a regression.

public class Enum implements Serializable

    try {
      ByteArrayOutputStream outb = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
      ObjectOutputStream outs = new ObjectOutputStream(outb);
      outs.writeObject(new Enum());
      byte[] store = outb.toByteArray();

      ByteArrayInputStream inb = new ByteArrayInputStream(store);
      ObjectInputStream ins = new ObjectInputStream(inb);
      ins.readObject();
    }
    catch (Throwable e) {
      throw new Error(e);
    }
  }
}

Note: this bug looks similar to a bug I reported against jamvm:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=543058&aid=1155738&group_id=75148

I paste here the evaluation Robert sent me privately after he fixed it, as it
MIGHT be relevant to gcj too (being a change in classpath).
"
P.S.  It was the recent changes made to Classpath. 
VMSecurityManager.currentClassLoader() now returns "null" if
checkPermissions(AllPermissions) passes.  ObjectInputStream uses this
to resolve a class, and ends up trying to resolve it using the
bootstrap class loader (which fails).  By luck SableVM works, because
it doesn't have a complete implementation of VMAccessController, so
checkPermissions(AllPermissions) fails, and currentClassLoader returns
the same as before.  I'll report a Classpath/SableVM bug.
