Joda-time serialization problem

Posted on June 11, 2013 by justme

I have no direct clues, but an exception with following message

Caused by: com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.ConversionException: Cannot create org.joda.time.chrono.ISOChronology$Stub by JDK serialization : null : Cannot create org.joda.time.chrono.ISOChronology$Stub by JDK serialization : null

Was caused by using Java7. Reverting to Java6 fixed the problem.
This was using joda-time 1.5. It may be fixed in more recent versions.
