Annotation based marshallers should unmarshall empty repeatable fields as empty collections instead of null ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: IPROTO-64 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/IPROTO-64 Project: Infinispan ProtoStream Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.0.5.Final Reporter: Adrian Nistor Assignee: Adrian Nistor Fix For: 4.3.0.Alpha1, 4.3.0.Final They are currently set to null but it would be more useful to set them to empty collections. Protobuf does not have a representation for null or for empty/missing repeatable fields. Whether these are represented as null or empty collection in Java code is just a matter of convenience.
