What do you think?
I agree completely.
An API at the level that you are proposing will provide the necessary
functionality and flexibility that is required to do validation in
readObject. As you clearly stated, and is already the case, validation
in this way can depend on supertype state.
Failure automicity of the whole type hierarchy is the only thing that
is missing, but I think that could possibly be built on top, or solved
in a different way. I don't see that as being a blocker for moving
this forward. This proposal stands on its own merits.
Peter,
Is this something that you want to actively flesh out? If not, I can
try to help move this forward.
Hi Chris,
I can prepare a prototype, yes. Just give me a couple of days.
Regards, Peter
