I had to develop an interface with save() and load() methods to serialize, and that bloats my objects and impacts maintainability.
This Struct project really pays off for binary protocols. Trustin, What do you have in mind? Merge? Dependency? Rodrigo On 7/16/07, yueyu lin < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I've ever implemented a set of codec to encode primitive byte/short/int/long/float/double/String/byte[] into a byte[] that is wrapped to a ByteBuffer to send out. This project seems to use annotation to make it easier to use. This kind of things happen because we initially to use other program language to communicate with java server so we cannot rely on Java's own serialization. When these things are done, the efficiency is the reason to support it. For a simple object, the convert process is 10 time faster than Java serialization. If Mina needs this kind of encode/decode, I'm pleased to add them to mina.
