24.31 java.io.InvalidClassException (JDK 1.1)

Signals that the serialization mechanism has encountered one of several possible problems with the class of an object that is being serialized or deserialized. The classname field should contain the name of the class in question, and the getMessage() method is overridden to return this class name with the message.

public class InvalidClassException extends ObjectStreamException {
    // Public Constructors
            public InvalidClassException(String reason);
            public InvalidClassException(String cname, String reason);
    // Public Instance Variables
            public String classname;
    // Public Instance Methods
            public String getMessage();  // Overrides Throwable
}
