Hi,
I am testing the latest WildFly build (wildfly-8.0.0.Beta2-SNAPSHOT) and have come across the following issue:
I have two classes (POJOs): ClassA and ClassB with ClassB being a subclass of ClassA so ClassB extends ClassA.
Now, I specify an encoder in my @ServerEndpoint like:
@ServerEndpoint(......., encoders = { ClassAEncoder.class } ,....)
The encoder ClassAEncoder implements Encoder.Text<ClassA> {....}
but, when I try to send an object like:
session.getBasicRemote().sendObject(classBInstance);
I am getting the following exception:
"Caused by: javax.websocket.EncodeException: No suitable encoder found"
If I change my Encoder to "implements Encoder.Text<ClassB> {....}" everything is working fine.
Does this mean that inheritance doesn't work with Encoders and that an encoder has to be defined for each subclass? I went through the jsr spec but it doesn't seem to say much about encoders in general, does it? Just a brief description at the @ServerEndpoint section.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Savvas
