> @pnoltes Do you have any plans to merge [type_support_for_properties](https://github.com/apache/celix/tree/feature/type_support_for_properties)? The event properties might need to support 'byte' type arrays property. > > Additionally, according to the OSGI specification [133.9](https://docs.osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/service.event.html#d0e47619),event properties should support arrays of primitive data types. Should we necessarily support arrays of all primitive types? In my opinion, 'byte' type arrays can handle most scenarios in our daily work, we can first support only byte type arrays. Because the changes "type support for propeties" PR is breaking, I want to merge this after Apache Celix 2.4.0 is released. So when the master branch is working towards a Apache Celix 3.0.0. But IMO this should hold back the event admin development. In the spec a Event structure primary contains a topic and properties and this can already be done with the current properties. When the properties are updated for type support, I expect this will have minimal or no impact on the Event impl. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
