[nick86]

I am gonna give you some code..

//add the elements to an array list
public static void Insert()
{ 
                         Pc pc1=new Pc();
                         System.out.println("Price: \n");
                         n=in.nextFloat();
                         pc1.setPrice(n);
                         System.out.println("Quantity: \n");
                         m=in.nextInt();
                         pc1.setQuantity(m);
                         pcList.add(pc1);//pcList is an array list of Pc class
 }
 //load the file
  public static void loadPcFiles()
{
  try{


  FileInputStream input1=new FileInputStream("Users.txt");

  ObjectInputStream ob1=new ObjectInputStream(input1);
  //pcList is an array list of PC
  pcList =( ArrayList<Pc>) ob1.readObject();


  ob1.close();

  input1.close();

  } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
  } catch(FileNotFoundException e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
   } catch (IOException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();}
 }

//print the lements from the arraylist
private static void PrintProducts ()
{
System.out.println("---------------------");
System.out.println("|  pc              :  |\n");
System.out.println("---------------------");
   for(Pc A: pcList)
   {

       A.printPc();
   }
 }

//PC class
public class Pc  extends Products implements Serializable {

 private String type;
 private float frequency;

 public Pc() {}

public Pc(String type, float frequency) {
    this.type = type;
    this.frequency = frequency;
}
 //and the products class
 public class Products implements Serializable{

private float price;
private int quantity;
private int id;
private String description;

public Products(){}

public String getDescription() {
    return description;
}

public void setDescription(String description) {
    this.description = description;
}

public float getPrice() {
    return price;
}

public void setPrice(float price) {
    this.price = price;
}

public int getQuantity() {
    return quantity;
}

public void setQuantity(int quantity) {
    this.quantity = quantity;
}

public int getId() {
    return id;
}

public void setId(int id) {
    this.id = id;
}

 @Override
 public String toString() {
     return "Products{" + "price=" + price + ", quantity=" + quantity + ", id=" + id +        ", description=" + description + '}';
}



}


public float getFrequency() {
    return frequency;
}

public void setFrequency(float frequency) {
    this.frequency = frequency;
}

public String getType() {
    return type;
}

public void setType(String type) {
    this.type = type;
}

 public void printPc()
 {
  System.out.println("Price: "+getPrice()+"Quantity"+getQuantity());

  System.out.println("---------------------");
 }

 @Override
public String toString() {
    return "Pc{" + "type=" + type + ", frequency=" + frequency + '}';
 }
}

Why do i get an NotSerializable error even though my classes are serializabled?? Does anyone now?

Have you tried running in debug mode to see where the break occurs?
