[ecf-dev] ECF not serializing changed method arguments (generic server)

[Konrad Bielak <konrad.bielak@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Suppose `person` is an ECF proxy object implementing Person interface
with getPerson() method. getPerson() has some parameters, and these
parameters are Holder [1] class (which means there is another object
reference inside).

Now, consider following Consumer endpoint code:

 Holder<String> personId = new Holder<String>("Person from OSGi bundle");
 Holder<String> ssn = new Holder<String>("1");
 Holder<String> name = new Holder<String>("1");

 logger.info("---> SENDING data: personId=" + personId.value + "
ssn=" + ssn.value + " name=" + name.value);
 person.getPerson(personId, ssn, name);
 logger.info("<--- Returned data: personId=" + personId.value + "
ssn=" + ssn.value + " name=" + name.value);

on Provider endpoint on another OSGi container `ssn` and `name` inside
values are changed. But consumer wont know about this, because ECF
does not serialize these objects again when returning from method
getPerson(). Log:
---> SENDING data: personId=Person from OSGi bundle ssn=1 name=1
<--- Returned data: personId=Person from OSGi bundle ssn=1 name=1

Is there any way to serialize these objects again on Provider endpoint?
So my log can show cute new values :-)
<--- Returned data: personId=Person from OSGi bundle ssn=000-000-0000
name=Guillaume

I'm using ECF version prior to march 19. Setup: generic server with ecftcp.

BTW Pax-Runner script for ECF4Felix [2] is outdated.
