GWT - occasional com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.SerializationException
- by user214984
Hello
we are haunted by occasional occurences of exceptions such as:
com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.SerializationException: Type 'xxx' was not assignable to 'com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.IsSerializable' and did not have a custom field serializer.For security purposes, this type will not be serialized.: instance = xxx

The application is normally running fine. The indicated class implements Serializable (the whole object graph).
So far the only patterns / observations are:
we seem to have the issue only when the application is used inside an iframe
the problem seems to happen when a new version of the application has been deployed
running firefox in privacy mode (disabling all caches etc.) doesn't fix the problem
Any ideas?
