    The app engine does support reflection – however you are trying to reflect on a private field of a JRE class:

    Reflection

    An application is allowed full,
    unrestricted, reflective access to its
    own classes. It may query any private
    members, use
    java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject.setAccessible(),
    and read/set private members.

    An application can also also reflect
    on JRE and API classes
    , such as
    java.lang.String and
    javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.
    However, it can only access public
    members of these classes, not
    protected or private.

    An application cannot reflect against
    any other classes not belonging to
    itself, and it can not use the
    setAccessible() method to circumvent
    these restrictions.

    …from http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/runtime.html#The_Sandbox:

    I’d consider writing a custom serializer for Bitset.

    See: http://sites.google.com/site/gson/gson-user-guide#TOC-Custom-Serialization-and-Deserializ
