Dan Berindei created IPROTO-185: ----------------------------------- Summary: Annotation processor should not process classes in other modules or without annotations Key: IPROTO-185 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/IPROTO-185 Project: Infinispan ProtoStream Issue Type: Enhancement Affects Versions: 4.4.0.Alpha4 Reporter: Dan Berindei If I have a {{@ProtoField}} method returning an {{Object}}, the processor should log any error saying that {{java.lang.Object}} is not marshallable. Instead, it generates a marshaller for {{java.lang.Object}}. But post-Jigsaw JVMs do not load {{java.lang}} classes from application jars, leading to confusing runtime errors like this: {noformat} java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object$___Marshaller_7cfc5a759c8f8d76ba63b427d975ad253085d80aa05aa8e1121221ae7d5d35cd at org.infinispan.spring.common.provider.PersistenceContextInitializerImpl.registerMarshallers(PersistenceContextInitializerImpl.java:56) at org.infinispan.marshall.protostream.impl.SerializationContextRegistryImpl$MarshallerContext.lambda$update$0(SerializationContextRegistryImpl.java:148) at java.base/java.util.ArrayList.forEach(ArrayList.java:1511) at org.infinispan.marshall.protostream.impl.SerializationContextRegistryImpl$MarshallerContext.update(SerializationContextRegistryImpl.java:146) at org.infinispan.marshall.protostream.impl.SerializationContextRegistryImpl.lambda$addContextInitializer$3(SerializationContextRegistryImpl.java:85) at org.infinispan.marshall.protostream.impl.SerializationContextRegistryImpl.update(SerializationContextRegistryImpl.java:105) at org.infinispan.marshall.protostream.impl.SerializationContextRegistryImpl.addContextInitializer(SerializationContextRegistryImpl.java:85) {noformat} I see 2 different problems: 1. {{java.lang.Object}} does not have any Protostream annotations, but the annotation processor still creates a marshaller for it. Creating marshallers for classes without annotations means when compiling a module it's impossible to know which classes in that module will ever have marshallers. 2. Split packages do not work with Jigsaw modules. Creating a marshaller in the same package but in a different jar is a problem not only for {{java.lang.Object}} and {{java.util}} collection classes, but also for application classes when using modular jars. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.13.1#813001)
