New requests

[Henri Tremblay]

Hi,

We just had two requests about Objenesis.

One is to handle Apache Harmony. The other is about Google App Engine.

I think it could be a good idea to support both. However, I'm not sure I'll have the time to have a look these days.

So if you have any ideas to push it forward, I'm listening :-)

Cheers,

Henri

P.S.: In case you wonder, it's not a dead project. In fact, it's pretty much the reference to instantiate objects from what I hear.

The requester to the Apache Harmony change mentioned he had an idea how to do it, I believe we should accept a contribution. As for the Google App Engine, I don't think it would be possible because it's a sandboxed environment, and something like Objenesis could be used on an hypothetical security violation (e.g., feeding objects that violate some invariant into some method that doesn't validate input).

And I'm sure I won't have the time to have a look any time soon. :-)

See above.

That's nice to hear! Do you have any reference to that?

Cheers,

XStream has a variant in its source, but it is not stable. Running all ~1000
unit tests at some point the JVM crashes. However, the last time I really
tried was with M4 - and that's now quite along time.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the information. I'll have a look.

Cheers,
Henri

Yes. I agree.

For Google App Engine, they managed to have stuff like Groovy running. I believe something could be done for Objenesis.

About the reference, I need to remember where I got that....

P.S.: Sorry for the super late answer of this and all the following mails. I just dumbly discovered that the Objenesis mails were going somewhere hidden.
