[Bug classpath/26995] New: javax.naming.BasicAttribute[s] don't serialize properly

[johnandtina at byu dot net]

The Vector's that back BasicAttribute and BasicAttributes are marked transient
and there have no writeObject or readObject methods, so their data doesn't get
serialized and they throw a NullPointerException after deserialization.

For example:

bsh % import javax.naming.directory.*;
bsh % ba = new BasicAttributes("testkey", "testvalue");
bsh % pos = new PipedOutputStream();
bsh % pis = new PipedInputStream();
bsh % pos.connect(pis);
bsh % oos = new ObjectOutputStream(pos);
bsh % ois = new ObjectInputStream(pis);
bsh % oos.writeObject(ba);
bsh % show();
bsh % ois.readObject();
// Error: Unknown error: java.lang.NullPointerException
bsh % a = ba.get("testkey");  
<testkey;testvalue>
bsh % oos.writeObject(a);
bsh % ois.readObject();
// Error: Unknown error: java.lang.NullPointerException
bsh % oos.writeObject(new Integer(42));
bsh % ois.readObject();
<42>
