[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBCLUSTER-282) Incompatible signature change in HATarget

Incompatible signature change in HATarget ----------------------------------------- Key: JBCLUSTER-282 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBCLUSTER-282 Project: JBoss Clustering Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: HA-Server-API Reporter: Brian Stansberry Assignee: Brian Stansberry Fix For: HA-Server-API 1.2.0.Final , HA-Server-API 2.0.0.Final The 2.0.0.Alpha series changed the return type of HATarget.getReplicants from ArrayList to List. This is breaking EJB3 (see EJBTHREE-2112) even though they actually handle the return value as a List. EJB3 needs a compatible interface for the 1.x series (for their usage in EAP 5.x) and the 2.x series (for AS 6 and later). So, solution is, in ha-server-api trunk and in a 1.2 branch: 1) Restore ArrayList as the getReplicants() return type. 2) Add public List<?> getReplicantList() 3) Deprecate getReplicants() 4) Release a 2.0.0.Alpha5 and a 1.2.0.Final 5) Move AS trunk to 2.0.0.Alpha5 so EJB3 testsuite can work 6) At some date, remove all AS trunk usage of the deprecated method 7) When the JBPAPP_5_1 branch is available for commits again, move it to 1.2.0 8) THEN move ejb3-proxy-clustered to 1.2.0, and have it use the new method.
