Serialization

[Robert "kebernet" Cooper]

Hello Rocket GWT people!

I have been struggling with the Rocket serialization mechanism because I am wanting a symmetric client serialization system. While the doclet annotation system seems to work, it doesn't seem to deal with generics at all down stream. For example:

public class TestContextItem implements WindowContextItem {

    /**

     * @serialization-type com.totsp.gwittir.example.client.TestContextItem.SomethingElse

     */

    private List somethings;

    private String string;

    private int intPropert;

    // getters and setters omitted.

    public static class SomethingElse implements Serializable {

        private String world;

        //getters and setters omitted.

    }

       

}

I started with the wiki docs, but was getting a index out of bounds on SerializationFactoryGenerator:800, and followed back to find the new values, but the generic declaration on the array on the ArrayList internal is causing problems.

ava.lang.AssertionError: Unable to find array component type "E extends java.lang.Object".

at rocket.util.client.Checker.fail(Checker.java:41)

at rocket.util.client.Checker.handleNull(Checker.java:60)

I have tried using a genericized ArrayList and not, but I end up with the same breakdown on ArrayList serialization.

BTW SerializationFactoryGenerator like 797+ should be:

                if (values.size() < index -1 ) {

throw new SerializationException("Unable to locate \"" + SerializationConstants.CONTAINER_TYPE + "\" on field " + field);

}

final String typeName = (String) values.get(index);

So I guess the big questions are: Is the serialization API going to be supported in the future? Should I punt on this or try and work around it?

I have a close to finished serializer that is symmetrical in that it provides it's own factories and object in/ out streams but uses the gwt generated serializers. 

Sometime when I get time I hope to package individual components separately rather than the one big lump of code that it is now.

If you want to help I can zip up my incomplete project which is a work in progress. I would Have to check but I'm sure the serialization stuff is complete and works with with genetics etc.

I forgot to day the new stuff is still symmetrical in that the client or server can consume streams that they themselves produce.

That would actually be great. I am in need of an "all client side" serialization mechanism and would rather not reinvent that particular wheel.

Goto the files section for the wip files. If you have any q feel free
to ask.
