Re: [infinispan-dev] StoreByValueTest tck test

It's important to note that Infinispan's implementation of storing as binary isn't guaranteeing different instances of objects are returned to different get() invocations (especially when they happen in parallel).

This is the reason for example that Hibernate OGM can't use this flag to have safe and independent instances, but needs to make defensive copies if returned values. As I read in your first post, you want to use this for defensive copies: that doesn't work, especially if the TCK is performing concurrent requests.

I would have to implement serialization/deserialization in our jsr 107 project but that would be a wrong path if we can somehow turn on our own existing storeAsBinary for in VM stored objects (see Galder's email on what is currently done) >> >> >> Regards, >> Vladimir >> On 13-01-24 7:09 AM, Manik Surtani wrote: >>> JSR 107's storeAsBinary and our storeAsBinary are conceptually the same.

There is a tck test that checks storing of objects by value not by reference in the cache [1]. I thought that if we set our underlying cache to be storeAsBinary we would handle this tck requirement (store by value if neeed rather than by reference). However, StoreByValueTest fails although I set our underlying Infinispan cache to be storeAsBinary. I am using local cache athough I tried with transport and dist_async setup as well - same result.
