Reading An Array From A YAML

So, I've stored an array of ItemStack in a YAML file. Writing the array to the file works perfectly. However, when I cast (ItemStack[]) to the section of the YAML and try to read it, I get a ClassCastException.

Writing it to the file:

Code:java

FileConfiguration config = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file);
config.set("Inventory", save.get(p).getContents());

Trying to read it:

Code:java

FileConfiguration config = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file);
ItemStack[] iStack = (ItemStack[]) config.get("Inventory");
i.setContents(iStack);
if(i != null){
    save.put(p, i);
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

I don't think that you can save ItemStack instances to files, but you have to save all the data (such as item id, item data/durability, etc.). Check this out: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/serializing-itemmeta-and-all-your-wildest-dreams.137325/
