[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-9597?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Paul Ferraro commented on WFLY-9597: ------------------------------------ If we're concerned about metaspace costs, we should consider eliminating the need for each consumer of PersistentResourceDefinition to create subclasses of PersistentResourceXmlParser per version (since these classes are loaded regardless of whether they are instantiated). Additionally, the PersistentResourceXmlParser subclasses for non-current versions unnecessarily implement XMLElementWriter<ModelNode>, the implementations of which are never used. Instead, we could create 2 concrete classes, let's call them PersistentResourceXmlReader and PersistentResourceXMLWriter, each constructed with a version specific PersistentResourceXMLDescription (or Supplier<PersistentResourceXMLDescription>). This way the PersistentResourceXMLDescription is still shared across writer and current reader, and we don't need all those extra subclasses per version per subsystem. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.5.0#75005)
