Mathias Herberts commented on THRIFT-1038:
------------------------------------------

I agree we can settle on TCompact and not worry about detecting the used 
protocol.

LGTM.

> Since THRIFT-830, binary fields are implemented using ByteBuffer instead of 
> byte[], but ByteBuffer are not serializable (in the Java sense), therefore 
> the generated Java classes are not serializable either.
> Even though one might expect the Thrift serialization to be used instead of 
> Java serialization, there are situations where the serialization of the 
> classes is not in the hands of the user (think for example about the 
> HttpSession offline storage done in Tomcat), therefore we MUST generate Java 
> classes that are serializable in the Java sense.
> I'm finishing up a compiler patch to generate writeObject/readObject methods 
> that will make the generated classes Serializable again, will submit it 
> tonight.
