Cache marshaller breaks when marshalling more than 32767 of "certain" objects in a single stream ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBCACHE-1211 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE-1211 Project: JBoss Cache Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Replication Affects Versions: 2.0.0.GA Reporter: Manik Surtani Assigned To: Manik Surtani Priority: Critical Fix For: 2.1.0.GA This is a nasty. What started life as an optimisation for certain types of objects in a marshalled stream (Fqn, GlobalTransactio, String and Serializable) has become a major limitation in that a single stream can only hold up to 32767 different (not equal()) instances of such objects. Basically the optimisation was, for example, instead of writing "hello" to a stream twice, just write it once and use a reference for all subsequent times. Unfortunately this reference was encoded as a short, hence the limitation of 32767. Fixing this will definitely break wire compatibility with JBoss Cache 2.0.0, although JBC does allow backward compatibility by specifying replication version in your configuration, thanks to the VersionAwareMarshaller. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
