Carsten Ziegeler commented on SLING-1126: ----------------------------------------- Yes, good idea. > Support serializable objects > ---------------------------- > > Key: SLING-1126 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1126 > Project: Sling > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: JCR > Affects Versions: JCR Resource 2.0.4 > Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler > Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler > Fix For: JCR Resource 2.0.6 > > > The JcrPropertyMap and JcrModifiablePropertyMap only support reading and > writing the object types supported by JCR. It is currently not possible to > store any serializable objects. > Supporting the writing of serializable objects is easy, we just have to > enhance the JcrModifiablePropertyMap to write the serialized object into the > repository (through an ObjectOutputStream). > Reading a serialized object is more tricky as the implementation does not > know in advance, if the input stream contains a serialized object or some > arbitrary data. > The check for this is a little bit expensive as it would require to first try > to read the data through an ObjectInputStream and if that success we have the > serialized object. If this is not successful, a new input stream has to be > used. > As I think that this is a very valuable feature (for example the Sling > eventing has a use case for this), we should do this special check only under > certain circumstances, for example > a) if ValueMap.get(KEY) is invoked and the property is an input stream > or > b) if ValueMap.get(KEY, Object.class) is used > Any other ideas, suggestions? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
