NetUI devs, I was wondering if you had some thoughts about the NameService class and support for serialization. See...
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-1112 I'm not sure that we can actually make NameService Serializable because the _nameMap HashMap member variable is a map of WeakReference. Unfortunately, I don't think reference objects are Serializable. In general you would have the variable that refers to the reference object be transient in a Serializable class. Otherwise we'd just get an exception like "java.io.NotSerializableException: java.lang.ref.WeakReference" So, any thoughts about how to support the use of NameService (in the DivPanel and Tree XHR features) in a cluster environment? Thanks, Carlin
