Re: [infinispan-dev] Where to put KeyValueFilterFactory and ConverterFactory...

I was able to look into the details with this a bit. At first thought I would think having a module that both the client and server packages could both depend on would be best. However the issue is that these factories produce instances that implement interfaces that live in the core package, which means the server/client would have to depend on core anyways. So I am thinking core is probably the best place for now. Thinking about these factories even more it could be useful to use these at some point in core to allow for non serializable KeyValueFilter/Converter instances and instead have the factory be serializable and just create them on each node as needed.

With this in mind, core/ might be the best place for it. They cannot live in commons/ cos it’d would require to move KeyValueFilter/Converter and other dependant classes to commons. >> >> Is everyone happy with ConverterFactory and KeyValueFilterFactory being in core/? >> >> Cheers, >> -- >> Galder Zamarreño >> galder(a)redhat.com >> twitter.com/galderz >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> infinispan-dev mailing list >> infinispan-dev(a)lists.jboss.org >> https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/infinispan-dev >> >> > > _______________________________________________ > infinispan-dev mailing list > infinispan-dev(a)lists.jboss.org > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/infinispan-dev _______________________________________________ infinispan-dev mailing list infinispan-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/infinispan-dev
