[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBREM-1145) HTTPUnMarshaller shouldn't use the value of content-type to determine the type of an object

HTTPUnMarshaller shouldn't use the value of content-type to determine the type of an object ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBREM-1145 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBREM-1145 Project: JBoss Remoting Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 2.2.3, 2.5.1 (Flounder) Reporter: Ron Sigal Assignee: Ron Sigal Fix For: 2.5.2 (Flounder), 2.2.3.SP1 org.jboss.remoting.marshal.http.HTTPMarshaller and HTTPUnMarshaller treat Strings as a special case, to avoid the expense of serialization. However, HTTPUnMarshaller is using the metadata value of content-type to determine if an object is a string or not, and. as of JBREM-653 "allow user to set content-type for http responses", that doesn't work. The problem is that the ServerInvocationHandler can set the content-type to, say, text/html, but CoyoteInvoker wraps the result in and InvocationResponse, which gets serialized. On the other side, HTTPUnMarshaller sees "text/html" and tries to read the serialized InvocationResponse as a string. One solution would be for Remoting to use its own metadata key, say "remoting-type" for the purposes of marshaling and unmarshaling. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
