It looks like the xstream upgrade in 1.504 has caused the issue. Until the compatability is resolved, you must use an earlier version of Jenkins

I updated from Jenkins 1.497 to Jenkins 1.510. Now the only not working plugin is the "Publish over FTP"-plugin. The configuration is lost after restart of Jenkins.
How can we speedup the Bugfixing? Do you need some more support?

I have resolved the problem for Publish-Over-FTP (I'm sure, the solution for Publish-Over-SSH is the same).
You have to override the method readResolve() in all inherited classes, for Publish-Over-FTP this are:

• BapFtpHostConfiguration
• BapFtpPublisherPlugin$Descriptor

The reason is, that the reflection-mechanism looks for the method readResolve() in the inherited class (see above) and after this in the base-class. The reflection-invoke of the method fails, if the method is declared in the base-class and call over the derived class.
Can I check in the patched classes on GitHub?

I have added a complete patched version of the plugins "publish-over" (base) and "publish-over-ftp" on GitHub:

• https://github.com/afischer211/publish-over-plugin
• https://github.com/afischer211/publish-over-ftp-plugin

Can you test it?

Hi Alexander,
I have installed the publish-over-ftp-plugin on jenkins 1.510 which is generated with your latest sources. It is working fine.
Thanks for fixing the issue.

Can everyone with this problem please provide their os, version including architecture and the full details of the JVM that the jenkins master is using?

HI bap,
Previously we had this issue but alexander's fix it got solved.
And for your requirement our jenkins-master info
os Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 (Santiago)
Kernel \r on an \m
java version "1.7.0"

Hello bap,

I have the problem with our productive environment: Jenkins 1.510 under CentOS5.x (64bit) with Java 1.6.0_25 (64bit).
With a MS-Windows-testinstallation all seems to work with your old version, but the JUnit-tests have some problems...

With my patched version the plugin is working again under the productive environment and the unit-tests are ok under MS-Windows.

Thanks Ramesh, Alex,

Which JVM implementation are we talking about - Sun/ Open JDK / gcj ?

Hi Alexander/bap, Thanks for the Fix.

When this Fix will be available as an official update?
CentOS 6.3, Jenkins 1.517

Looks like this was already resolved.
