Server should see application/octet-stream as protostream --------------------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-11910 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/ISPN-11910 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Server Affects Versions: 11.0.0.CR1 Reporter: Dan Berindei Assignee: Dan Berindei Priority: Major Fix For: 11.0.0.Final The server, and Infinispan in general, should use the user marshaller to read {{application/octet-stream}} and {{application/unknown}} data. ISPN-10433 added a hack in the server (for backwards compatibility, I assume): if {{jboss-marshalling}} is on the classpath, {{org.infinispan.server.core.LifecycleCallbacks.cacheManagerStarting()}} changes the marshaller for {{application/unknown}} (but not for {{application/octet-stream}}) to {{GenericJBossMarshaller}}. This means that {{server/core}}, {{server/hotrod}}, and {{client/hotrod-client}} tests see {{application/unknown}} as protostream, but the server distribution in {{server/runtime}} always includes {{jboss-marshalling}}, so the server distribution sees {{application/unknown}} as {{GenericJBossMarshaller}} data. It would be much better if the server always used the user marshaller for {{application/unknown}}, and when a user needs backwards compatibility between a new server and an old client, they should configure {{GenericJBossMarshaller}} in the server. In addition, new clients should not use {{application/unknown}} unless the marshaller does not implement {{getMediaType()}}: they know the marshaller's media type, and they should send it to the server.
