hi guyz... im desperately in need of the ObjectInputStream class as i need to convert a byte[] to an object which then will be casted to a hashMap.

I had no problem converting my hashmap to a byte[] with java where i used this method on my serverside application using the Java API

private static byte[] serialize(Object o) throws IOException {
ByteArrayOutputStream ba = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream oba = new ObjectOutputStream(ba);
oba.writeObject(o);
return ba.toByteArray();
}

however... when using RIM API they removed the ObjectInputStream classes which makes this method not being able to compile

private static Object deserialize(byte[] b) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
ByteArrayInputStream ba = new ByteArrayInputStream(b);
ObjectInputStream oba = new ObjectInputStream(ba);
return oba.readObject();
}

any way around this?
