TUSCANY 1881, talks about throwing a warning msg when adding remote bindings to services with interfaces not marked as remotable, by which the data transformation might get messed up.
>From the current implementation, I understand that the datatransformation interceptor will not be inserted in the invocation chain if the target interface is not marked as remotable. Not having this interceptor will end up with binding specific data transformations not being done.. So unless the target binding does have any trouble with the arguments and returntypes because of the absence of transformations... we do not have any issues. But otherwise we might end up in runtime exceptions being thrown. While thinking at a solution to this issue, i could think of various options as shown below, but not sure which one is the right approach? OPTION 1: About issue shows how lack of Remotable ends up in runtime exception when service methods are invoked, can't we somehow trap this during component build or activatoin time itself? OPTION 2: I believe this whole thing can be solved if we can simply check in the binding if the interface is marked remote. OPTION 3: Currently DataBindingRuntimeWireProcessor.process() method checks if the source and target interfaces is remotable before it validates to see if data transformation is required. One way of solution to throw a warning msg is to check the source and target datatypes, if their datatypes are diff we assume that data transformation is required and we look if the interfaces are marked remotable, if not we throw a warning msg to alert that there could be an unexpected behaviour in data transformation. OPTION 4: In the DataBindingRuntimeWireProcessor.process() method, just check if the source and target interface is remotable OR if the source and target datatypes are different. If any one condition is satisfied then we assume that data transformation is required. Apart from the above mentioned issue, do we need to make such checks for ws binding as well OR do we need this checks for all kind of bindings. Like to know people's view on this regard.
