Michael Berkowitz updated CXF-2720:
-----------------------------------
Description:
Given an object of type {{Map<TKey, TValue>}}, where, say, {{TValue}} is a base
class extended by {{TValuePrime}}, when a serialized instance contains a value
of type {{TValuePrime}}, *MapType* will try to deserialize it as a {{TValue}},
ignoring the fact that it's really an instance of {{TValuePrime}}. In many
cases this will throw an exception when trying to _set_ a member that exists
only in {{TValuePrime}}. (We have observed this for the value class, but it
should be true of the key class as well).
We have fixed this - as far as we can tell - by swiping code from *ArrayType*,
which handles these things correctly. We're attaching our new version of
*MapType.java*.
Lacking a deep understand of the Aegis code, we did this by intuition and
trial-and-error, so it may be inefficient or even technically incorrect, but so
far it works for us. Please get this fix, or its functional equivalent, into
the codebase.
Thanks in advance.
