Problems with Serializable-String[] in 2.96

Fri Sep 13 10:11:00 GMT 2002

I am unable to build the code below with gcj from
RedHat 7.3 (gcj version 2.96). 
It appears there is a problem with using a String[]
when the method signature specifies a paramenter of
type java.io.Serializable. The compiler returns with
"unexpected type on stack" error on first line of
method as well as the line that has the method
invocation:
example/Implementor.java:11: unexpected type on stack
example/Implementor.java:23: unexpected type on stack
Is/was this a known issue? Has it been corrected in
latest version of gcj? Can I install latest version
of gcj without building all of gcc?
Thanks in advance,
Pete
Here is the source:
package example;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class Implementor {
 private int count_;
 public static void main (String[] args) {
 Implementor imp = new Implementor();
 if (args.length < 1) {
 System.out.println("No arguments, test
sending array of Strings to setCount()...");
 String[][] values = {
 {"one", "two"},
 {"three", "four"},
 {"five", "six"},
 {"seven", "eight"},
 {"nine", "ten"}
 };
 imp.setCount(values);
 }
 else {
 for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
 System.out.println("args[" + i + "]: 
" + args[i]);
 imp.setCount(args[i]);
 }
 }
 }
 public int getCount() {
 return count_;
 }
 public void setCount(Serializable count) {
 if (count instanceof String) {
 count_ = Integer.parseInt((String) count);
 System.out.println("count_ now is: " +
count_);
 }
 else // hande as array of Strings
 {
 String[][] values = (String[][]) count;
 for (int i=0; i<values.length; i++) {
 for (int j=0; j<values[i].length; j++)
{
 System.out.println("count[" + i +
"][" + j + "]: " + values[i][j]);
 }
 }
 }
 }
}
