Description
Currently, types of event payloads are usually determined dynamically via .getClass(). Converter selection then performs an exact matching of this type against the data types of known converters.
We could probably improve this behavior:
Converter Selection¶
- Determine a set of applicable converters: a converter is applicable when the data type of the payload
isAssignableFromthe data type of the converter - Sort the set of candidates according to the subtype relation; it is an error if this order is not total
- Select the most specific converter
- Cache the result
Payload Types¶
- When not specified, the data type of a payload is determined via
.getClass() - When a data type is explicitly specified, the payload object has to be an
instanceofthis type
