[infinispan-issues] [Red Hat JIRA] (ISPN-11966) Deprecate application/x-java-object in the REST API

Deprecate application/x-java-object in the REST API --------------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-11966 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/ISPN-11966 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Task Components: REST Affects Versions: 11.0.0.CR1 Reporter: Dan Berindei Assignee: Gustavo Fernandes Priority: Major Fix For: 12.1.0.Final The REST server supports request header {{Key-Content-Type}}, which changes the meaning of the key in the request URI to be encoded in different media types. One of the supported media types is {{application/x-java-object}}, which parses Java primitives as if they were Java literals, with special handling for {{String}} and {{byte[]}}. The parsing rules are ad-hoc and undocumented, so I suggest we stop supporting them. Users who want a readable URI should instead use write the key as JSON and rely on the server to transcode between JSON and the cache storage media type.
