Can you send me some test code? There should be no differences in the Reflection implemetion between Sun’s and Blackdown’s JDKs.

Recently encountered a bug where XStream failed to instantiate an object via reflection because it was relying on a generated no-arge constructor provided by Sun JVM’s sun.reflect.GeneratedSerializationConstructorAccessor class.

Is there an equivalent class in the Blackdown JVM for instantiating an object on the fly that doesn’t have its own no-arg constructor?

I’m just trying to track down whether this is a limitation in XStream or Blackdown.

How progressed is it Juergen? I’m sure if we looked around more we could get you some assistance?

Yeah, it would be nice if we had the SPARC version ready by now. Unfortunately my time for the SPARC port is a bit limited currently.

I think it is the high time for JDK-1.4.2 for sparc + Linux.

I work at the Technical University of Lodz, in Computer Science department, and I have to support a whole lab of Sun Blade 150 machines. No Java means that this lab will become virtually useless. I run Debian GNU/Linux there and I’m considering Gentoo GNU/Linux as well.

My recent trials with upgrading to newer glibc (Debian sarge) resulted in Java 1.4.1 refusing to work at all (SIGSEGV). So, newer Java 1.4.2 is badly needed for everyone running Java on sparc under Linux.
