The documentation is trying to convey the concept, but the implementation
differs in some places. The documentation is correct for unbuffered objects,
but for buffered (instance/delta) the object has to retain a full copy of each
version to allow late mapping (or how would the new slave instance get an old
snapshot of the master?). The mapped instances only get the delta since the
last version.
The documentation in master looks different already:
/**
* Worker for pack() and getInstanceData().
*
* Override this and deserialize() to distribute subclassed data.
*
* This method is called with DIRTY_ALL from getInstanceData() and with
* the actual dirty bits from pack(), which also resets the dirty state
* afterwards. The dirty bits are transmitted beforehand, and do not
* need to be transmitted by the overriding method.
* @version 1.0
*/
Or did I just not find what you quoted?
Cheers,
Stefan.
