Darrel Schneider commented on GEODE-7229:
-----------------------------------------
To make it easier to configure a ReflectionBasedAutoSerializer, an
"autoSerializer" attribute will be added to the "Pdx" configuration class.
The autoSerializer will have two attributes of its own: "portable" is true or
false; "patterns" is a list of regex used to match the classes.
When creating a pdx config with an autoSerializer the only requirement will be
that the autoSerializer has at least one pattern.
It is an error to specify both an "autoSerializer" and a "pdxSerializer" on the
Pdx.
Also the "persistent" attribute will be removed from the Pdx configuration
class since it is implied by the "diskStoreName" attribute.
> v2 rest api should make it easier to use the pdx ReflectionBasedAutoSerializer

> gfsh configure pdx makes it somewhat easy to configure the
> ReflectionBasedAutoSerializer. All you need to do is give say
> --auto-serializable-classes=PATTERN and any classes that match PATTERN will
> be auto serialized with pdx.
> Currently the v2 api requires that you set the Pdx.setPdxSerializer to a
> ClassName instance whose name is
> "org.apache.geode.pdx.ReflectionBasedAutoSerializer" and whose Properties
> contain one with the key "classes" and the value PATTERN.
> The v2 rest api should make it at least as easy as gfsh and it could probably
> make it even easier. We should consider making the auto serializer the
> default if pdx is being configured. The only issue with this is the auto
> serializer needs to know which classes it should serialize and which it
> should leave alone. So just giving it the pattern ".*" could cause jdk and
> other framework classes to be serialized as pdx instead of just the domain
> classes.
> Another thing that makes it more complicated with gfsh is it has two options;
> one for auto-serializable-classes and another for
> "--portable-auto-serializable-classes". This makes the command line look more
> complicated then it should be. I think we could instead just have the auto
> serializer pattern and then another boolean attribute that says if the auto
> serializer should check that the classes are portable. The whole portable
> thing has to do with making sure all the fields can be converted to the
> native client. Perhaps we don't need to expose this boolean if we now thing
> it should always be true or false.
