    Generic types and marshalling

    magick93

      Hi

       

      I'm trying to use generic types in our errai app, but am having problems with marshalling.

       

      Ive attached a simple sample app to demonstrate.

       

      For example, I'm getting the following error:

       

       

       

      Caused by: org.jboss.errai.marshalling.client.api.exceptions.InvalidMappingException: portable entity magick.nu.generic.events.client.shared.Response contains a field (payLoad) that is not known to the marshaller framework: magick.nu.generic.events.client.shared.Bar at org.jboss.errai.marshalling.rebind.api.impl.defaultjava.DefaultJavaDefinitionMapper.map(DefaultJavaDefinitionMapper.java:225) at org.jboss.errai.marshalling.rebind.DefinitionsFactoryImpl.loadCustomMappings(DefinitionsFactoryImpl.java:330)

          Hi Anton,

           

          Thanks for taking the time to package up an example app that illustrates the problem. This is a huge help!

           

          Now for the bad (good?) news: I downloaded and unzipped the attached application, and the whole thing built properly for me. No errors generating either the client or server marshallers:

          I also tried running the app in Dev Mode (mvn gwt:run), and that worked too.

            Thanks Jonathan

             

            Thats strange that it worked for you.

             

            I did, however, find the problem. I simply needed to ensure the event classes had default no-args constructors.

             

            Thanks again.

              For mutable @Portable value types like all the ones in your example app's shared package, you don't need to write explicit default constructors. Errai Marshalling knows about the implicit public no-args constructor, and will use it.

               

              Immutable types, of course, don't generally have a no-args constructor. In this case, you need to choose one constructor and annotate each of its parameters with @MapsTo. But this doesn't apply to any of the @Portable types in your example app; they are all mutable and have either an explicit or implicit no-args constructor.

               

              Which leaves us with a mystery as to what caused your build to fail. Perhaps some old .class files that needed to be wiped out by a Maven clean?
