-----------------------------------
Summary: Add support for symbol based serialization/RPC
Key: CELIX-437
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CELIX-437
Project: Celix
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: PubSubAdmin, Remote Service Admin
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Reporter: Pepijn Noltes
Currently the remote service admin and pubsub are based on the use of dfi and
descriptors. Another option could be to support the de/serialization and RPC
using predefined function signatures.
Using the extender pattern these function can be found and used without
polluting the types/services with serialization/RPC code and make it possible
to support a wide range of existing serialization/rpc techniques.
For example a service with the name "HelloWord" could have a bundle entry
'META-INF/services/HelloWorld.rpc_info' entry containing a simple properties
files with - atleast- the entires "create_proxy" and "create_endpoint". These
refer to symbols in the shared libraries of the bundle with predefined
signatures.
More design details are needed before this can be implemented. Also a initial
tech. should be chosen (e.g. RPC).
