ObjectMessage: better marshalling --------------------------------- Key: JGRP-2480 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/JGRP-2480 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Enhancement Reporter: Bela Ban Assignee: Bela Ban Priority: Major Fix For: 5.0.0.Beta2 Currently, {{ObjectMessage}} accepts only objects of type {{SizeStreamable}} and wraps everything else into {{ObjectWrapper}} instances. This means that primitive types (e.g. "{{7}}" or "{{hello world}}") will be wrapped, too. The disadvantage of {{ObjectWrapper}} is that it performs _eager marshalling_, creating an unwanted byte[] array before the message is actually marshalled. On the receiver side, another byte[] array will be created before the actual unmarshalling starts. Solution: accept primitive types (e.g. {{int}}, {{Integer}}, {{String}}, {{AsciiString}}, {{byte[]}} etc) directly, without wrapping them into an {{ObjectWrapper}}.
