Very strange error when storing a date value in rails session

Hi all,

I’ve run into a very strange error and was wondering if anyone out
there could give me a hand…

I’ve been able to reproduce the error consistently now and still, it
seems that I am completely missing where/why it could be happening.

I have a rails controller with a method here:

class TimeAssignController < ApplicationController

def index
@current_date = get_current_date
end

private
def get_current_date
if session[:time_assign_current_date] == nil
session[:time_assign_current_date] = Time.new
end
return session[:time_assign_current_date]
end

end

That’s it. Now, this problem was not happening when I was on rails 2.1
and jruby 1.1.4, it started happening once I migrated to rails 2.2.2
and jruby1.1.5. When I access this page the first time, everything
runs fine and the session variable gets set with the current date. The
second time I access this page, however, I get this:

Switching to active_record_store, p_store, and cookie store all show
the same problem. It also happens on WEBrick and tomcat. I have no
idea what is going on, any ideas? I am totally stuck on this one and
any help would be much much appreciated.

Thank you very much,
Jin

I guess this is kind of redundant, but for those who like to browse, the
JRuby cookbook just made it to my local bookstore.

Looks like Justin & Henry did a good job, although there are a few
things I do wish they had included.
