[Red5] Easy way to test IExternalizable classes with ByteArray?

[Tyler Kocheran]

I'm fooling around with externalizable classes again and I'm wondering if
there's a simple way to test them without having to code the clientside
equivalent, create a new Red5 project, fire up the server, and do it at
runtime. I thought I'd be able to do something like this in a testing class
(via the main() static method):

JAVA:
ByteArray byteArray = new ByteArray();
IExternalizable externalInstance = new ExternalClassTest();
try {
   externalInstance.writeExternal(byteArray);
   externalInstance.readExternal(byteArray);
} catch (Exception e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
}

Every time I run this, I get a java.nio.BufferUnderflowException.
Is there an easy way to do what I want without firing up the server?
