Seth Hitchings commented on THRIFT-1077: ---------------------------------------- You can also generate code that uses byte[] instead of ByteBuffer: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-872 > binary can't be null in 0.5 > --------------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-1077 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1077 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Bug > Components: C++ - Library > Affects Versions: 0.5 > Environment: Mac Snow leopard > Reporter: Billy Newport > Priority: Blocker > > I had code working on thrift 0.3. I had a java server and C++ client. I have > a thrift method like: > binary get(1:string mapName, 2:binary key) > This used to return null when the key isn't found. It used to return a > byte[]. I noticed that 0.5 uses ByteBuffers everywhere instead of byte[]s so > I converted my server. This method implementation returns null if the key > isn't found but this fails on the client side with a: > terminate called after throwing an instance of > 'apache::thrift::TApplicationException' > what(): get failed: unknown result > Do I need to handle null binaries with a special code or exception now? This > is clearly different behavior than was present in 0.3 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
