[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-196) Investigate backward/forward binary compatibility between JGroups releases

[Bela Ban (Jira)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-196?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13817160#comment-13817160 ] 

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.

> Goal: JGroups versions are able to read messages from older and *newer* versions.
> Solution: provide a plugin directory which contains marshaller factories which are keyed by version ID and know how to read/write to/from older/newer versions.
