Trouble with Complex Object example

Question

From the 3.5 Tutorial.
I have all of the .xml files in d:\oracle\home\labs, the .cmd file to start the cache using the POF is in the same directory.
When I run the .cmd file, I get an
Illegal State Exception: Missing POF configuration
The POF configuration file is right there in the same directory with everything else.
Where is it looking for this?
Heres the .cmd file:
@echo off
setlocal
if (%COHERENCE_HOME%)==() (
set COHERENCE_HOME=d:\coherence
if "%java_home%"=="" (set java_exec=java) else (set java_exec=%java_home%\bin\java)
set COH_OPTS=%COH_OPTS% -server -cp %COHERENCE_HOME%\lib\coherence.jar;D:\home\oracle\labs\Golddigger\CacheTest\classes
set COH_OPTS=%COH_OPTS% -Dtangosol.coherence.cacheconfig=d:\home\oracle\labs\golddigger-cache-config.xml
"%java_exec%" %COH_OPTS% -Xms1g -Xmx1g com.tangosol.net.DefaultCacheServer %2 %3
%4 %5 %6 %7
:exit
Here's the cache configuration file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cache-config SYSTEM "cache-config.dtd">
<cache-config>
<caching-scheme-mapping>
<cache-mapping>
<cache-name>*</cache-name>

</cache-mapping>

</local-scheme>
</backing-map-scheme>
<autostart>true</autostart>
</distributed-scheme>
</caching-schemes>
</cache-config>
And here is payloadPOFConfig.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE pof-config SYSTEM "pof-config.dtd">
<pof-config>
<user-type-list>
<!-- coherence POF user types -->
<include>coherence-pof-config.xml</include>
<!-- com.tangosol.examples package -->
<user-type>
<type-id>1002</type-id>
<class-name>com.oracle.coherence.handson.Payload</class-name>
</user-type>
</user-type-list>
<allow-interfaces>true</allow-interfaces>
<allow-subclasses>true</allow-subclasses>
</pof-config>

Answer 1

Yeah, I fixed that. The class was compiled with the JDeveloper internal JRE, the cache was started with an older version of Java that was lingering under java_home.
Now, I get a new error trying to write my Payload class to the cache...

The Payload class is as follows:
package com.oracle.coherence.handson;
import com.tangosol.io.pof.PofReader;
import com.tangosol.io.pof.PortableObject;
import com.tangosol.io.pof.PofWriter;
import java.io.*;
public class Payload
implements PortableObject
private File fileInfo;
private byte[] contents;
private long size;
private String status = "Pending";
public Payload()
// Empty default constructor
public Payload(File fileInfo, byte[] contents, int size)
super();
this.fileInfo = fileInfo;
this.contents = contents;
this.size = size;
public void readExternal(PofReader pofReader)
throws IOException
this.setFileInfo((File) pofReader.readObject(0));
this.setContents((byte[]) pofReader.readByteArray(1));
this.setSize(pofReader.readInt(2));
this.setStatus(pofReader.readString(3));
public void writeExternal(PofWriter pofWriter) throws IOException
pofWriter.writeObject(0, this.getFileInfo());
pofWriter.writeByteArray(1, this.getContents());
pofWriter.writeLong(2, this.getSize());
pofWriter.writeString(3, this.getStatus());
Then a bunch of accessors and mutators for the variables.
I've been able to write both a File object and a byte[] to the cache as values, but it won't take this class.
What is not serializable in here?
