[forge-dev] Opinion poll: Jackson vs Errai

[Luca Masini]

Hi Thomas, I didn't understand very well the question in your poll.

Anyway when you talk about the marshalling, do you mean an annotation that
know how to manage how to serialize persistent collection ??

In a way, are you talking about the problem that frameworks like Gilead try
to solve ??
