Hazelcast: Does Portable Serialization needs objects to be shared between client and server? - serialization

Question

I am getting the below exception:
Could not find PortableFactory for factory-id: 1
com.hazelcast.nio.serialization.HazelcastSerializationException: Could
not find PortableFactory for factory-id: 1
On the client side I have the following code:
public class ClientTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<String> nodes = new ArrayList<String>();
nodes.add("localhost:5701");
ClientConfig clientConfig = new ClientConfig();
ClientNetworkConfig networkConfig = new ClientNetworkConfig();
networkConfig.setAddresses(nodes);
clientConfig.setNetworkConfig(networkConfig);
SerializationConfig serCong = clientConfig.getSerializationConfig();
serCong.addPortableFactory(1, new UserFactoryImpl());
serCong.setPortableVersion(1);
HazelcastInstance hzClient1 = HazelcastClient.newHazelcastClient(clientConfig);
IMap<String, User> map = hzClient1.getMap("user");
System.out.println(map.size() + "hiten");
User user1 = new User();
user1.setFirstName("hiten");
user1.setLastName("singh");
map.put("1", user1);
//hz1.getLifecycleService().terminate();
System.out.println(map.size() + "after");
User user2 = new User();
user2.setFirstName("hiten1");
user2.setLastName("singh1");
map.put("2", user2);
UserEntryProcessor entryProc = new UserEntryProcessor();
User userRes = (User)map.executeOnKey("1", entryProc);
}
static class UserEntryProcessor implements EntryProcessor<String, User>, HazelcastInstanceAware {
private transient HazelcastInstance hazelcastInstance;
#Override
public Object process(Entry<String, User> entry) {
User user = entry.getValue();
if(user != null) {
System.out.println(user.getFirstName());
}
return user;
}
#Override
public EntryBackupProcessor<String, User> getBackupProcessor() {
return null;
}
#Override
public void setHazelcastInstance(HazelcastInstance hazelcastInstance) {
this.hazelcastInstance = hazelcastInstance;
}
}
static class UserFactoryImpl implements PortableFactory{
public final static int USER_PORTABLE_ID = 1;
public final static int FACTORY_ID = 1;
public Portable create(int classId) {
switch (classId) {
case USER_PORTABLE_ID:
return new User();
}
return null;
}
}
static class User implements Portable {
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
#Override
public int getFactoryId() {
return UserFactoryImpl.FACTORY_ID;
}
#Override

}
}
}

Yes it does, just as you figured out the factory and the classes need to be available. Currently there is no built-in solution to not share classes for more sophisticated use cases than simple gets / puts. I have JSON support and some other ideas cooking but nothing really done yet.
