[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JGRP-196) Investigate backward/forward binary compatibility between JGroups releases
[

Bela Ban commented on JGRP-196:
-------------------------------
Look into using a description language to describe the types and then generate the
marshalling code. This code would reside in a factory, so the marshalled instances could
be *immutable*.
Something like Google Protocol Buffers. This could possibly also generate the C
marshalling code for the wireshark plugin
Investigate backward/forward binary compatibility between JGroups
releases
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JGRP-196
URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JGRP-196
Project: JGroups
Issue Type: Feature Request
Affects Versions: 2.2.8, 2.2.9, 2.2.9.1, 2.3
Reporter: Bela Ban
Assignee: Bela Ban
Fix For: 2.x
Goal: JGroups versions are able to read messages from older and *newer* versions.
Solution: provide a plugin directory which contains marshaller factories which are keyed
by version ID and know how to read/write to/from older/newer versions.
