Hey al, I like to open another discussion as I am currently working on another refactoring of the Drivers, namely the extraction of "binary" encoders and decoders as common concern. After our discussion about the addition of the binary representation to the S7 driver I observed that several drivers use very similar code to transform java types to byte representations of specific flavor (Big Endian, ...).
Thus my aim is to provide a “library” of common encoders and decoders between Java Types and byte representations that every driver can use but also register custom Java Types and their representation (as it is e.g. needed for ADS, I think). Do you agree with this? Julian
