Re: Serializing types that have only been included as a map generic in remote interface fails

[juggec]

I'm experiencing the same issues when having my signature defined as
void doIt(List<Foo<Bar>>> list). Bar cannot be serialized. Any hints
on how to work around this apart from adding dummy methods just to get
the type whitelisted?
