[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-196) Investigate backward/forward binary compatibility between JGroups releases
[
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-196?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s...
]
Bela Ban commented on JGRP-196:
-------------------------------
This could be something like Protostream, which annotates the fields and generates
marshalling code.
The classes to be sent across the wire could then be immutable (if needed).
The code generation mechanism might even be pluggable, allowing users to replace it.

Affects Versions: 2.2.8, 2.2.9, 2.2.9.1, 2.3
Reporter: Bela Ban
Assignee: Bela Ban
Priority: Major
