TypeHandler SerDe is backwards incompat with older versions of FM
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: OODT-142
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-142
Project: OODT
Issue Type: Bug
Components: file manager
Affects Versions: 0.2, 0.1-incubating
Environment: While working on OODT-139
Reporter: Chris A. Mattmann
Assignee: Chris A. Mattmann
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 0.3
While working on OODT-139 and testing out with a production system at JPL
running the old internal JPL OODT code, I noticed that prior versions of the
file manager (pre-Apache) are incompatible with the existing Apache code due to
a simple check that isn't being done in the XmlRpcStructFactory SerDe inside of
the file manager with respect to the type handlers (introduced in the JPL
internal version of the file manager version 1.8.0 and beyond). It would be
useful to projects here at JPL (and outside of it) that use our software
pre-Apache and who want to upgrade or get on the Apache version to have a fix
that checks to make sure that type handlers actually exist _before_ SerDe'ing
them. In fact, this is a blocker to using PCS Health Monitor and the newer PCS
code as a whole with older legacy systems because the FM SerDE breaks.
I'll commit a simple fix for this shortly.
