unpickle[Any]

[vrahli]

I'm curious as why objA2 below is different from objA1.
objA2 is Pair(Pair(1,2),Pair(1,2)). The second 1 gets replaced by Pair(1,2).
The fact that the second 1 is a 1 matters. Changing it to something
else gives me the correct result.

Also, calling objB2.toString gives me a StackOverFlowError error.

What's going on?

import scala.pickling._
import binary._

object TestSerializer {

  case class Pair(val x: Any, val y: Any)

  def main(args : Array[String]) = {
    // TEST 1
    val objA1: Any = Pair(Pair(1,2),1)
    val sA: Array[Byte] = objA1.pickle.value
    println("serialized " + objA1)
    val objA2: Any = sA.unpickle[Any]
    println("deserialized " + objA2) // does not fail but gives the wrong answer

    // TEST 2
    val objB1: Any = Pair(1,Pair(1,2))
    val sB: Array[Byte] = objB1.pickle.value
    println("serialized " + objB1)
    val objB2: Any = sB.unpickle[Any]
    println("deserialized " + objB2) // fails
  }

}

I'm exactly in the same problem..please let me know if you find the solution, seems than heather is not so much active solving/responding issues :S ...I need picking to ByteString (the akka Array[byte] alternative)....
