Re: [jira] Created: (BEEHIVE-829) Controls deserialization broken because it's looking for the wrong delimiter

Ken,
What kind of behavior would you expect if we were to try and use the 
deserialized control?

Controls deserialization has a rather nasty bug where we're looking for the 
wrong delimiter.  To wit, in AnnotatedElementMap.readObject():
---
           int argsIndex = _elemDesc.indexOf('/');
           if (argsIndex < 0)  // element is a Field
---
should actually be:
---
           int argsIndex = _elemDesc.indexOf('(');
           if (argsIndex < 0)  // element is a Field
---

This basically means that controls serialization is broken in a fair number of 
cases (mostly extensible controls).
