Re: WebStart/JMX use cases (was RE: [equinox-dev] April 8th meeting minutes)

Hi,

We have implemented something like this and observed a number of problems. The
most problematic one, I think, is the usage of the Java serialization mechanism
for RMI parameter objects, because the serialization mechanism does not "know"
from which plugin a specific class came from (that is used for an object inside
the stream). There are several workarounds for this (e.g. a special context
class loader for the thread that does an overall class search) but I don't know
a real clean solution for this.
One solution might be to extend the ObjectInput/OutputStreams to store
additional information for each class into the stream (plugin_id, for example),
but I don't know of any possibility to substitude the object streams that are
used for RMI.
Any idea?
Best regards,
Martin
