More polite reporting of NotSerializableException

XMLWordPrintable

      If you accidentally store something nonserializable in a local variable, you get a nasty stack trace mentioning org.jboss.marshalling.river.RiverMarshaller.doWriteObject and other things which will make no sense to a user and imply a bug in Workflow rather than in your script.

      RiverWriter should defend better against this. It could replace the bad object with null, after printing a warning in the log. Or it could simply replace it with a pickle that rehydrates to null or throws an exception if you ever resume this flow after a restart. I think replacement with null is preferable since in most cases you did not really need the object to be saved and the flow could have continued without it.
