Hessian releases

[fonz]

is there any special reason why spring still includes
release 2.1.14? (should 3.x work too with spring?)

are there any 'must-have' features in 3.x which 2.x has not?

thanks

I just have a quick look at release 3.0.13 and found that
a sendJavaType property has been added to CollectionSerializer.

public class CollectionSerializer extends AbstractSerializer {
  private boolean _sendJavaType = true;

  /**
   * Set true if the java type of the collection should be sent.
   */
  public void setSendJavaType(boolean sendJavaType)
  {
    _sendJavaType = sendJavaType;
  }

  /**
   * Return true if the java type of the collection should be sent.
   */
  public boolean getSendJavaType()
  {
    return _sendJavaType;
  }

it may helps for Hibernate collection.

Well, the main reason why we still ship Hessian 2.x is JDK 1.3 compatibility. Hessian 3.x, like the entire Resin 3.x series, requires JDK 1.4.

Hessian 3.x is nevertheless supported, of course. Our HessianServiceExporter even contains special checks to address API changes from Hessian 2.x to 3.x.
