#opendaylight-meeting: md_sal_interest

Meeting summary

1. 1. Sharon Aicler describes the binding used by the sal-persisted-dom-test (tbachman, 17:09:55)
   2. Sharon shows the PojoObject test, where there’s a member that’s a sub-element of the PojoObject; the serializer uses reflection to look at all the get methods on the object, and if they don’t contain any arguments, it refers to them as properties that need to be serialized and asks them to do their own serialization (tbachman, 17:12:01)
   3. If the object is something not native to Java, it will create a serializer for it (tbachman, 17:12:25)
   4. the generated serializer converts everything to a bunch of bytes, and goes to the sub-element to add the bunch of bytes to the original stream of bytes; this leaves you with a set of bytes that describes a single object (tbachman, 17:13:55)
   5. the byte array also contains an encoder (tbachman, 17:15:52)
   6. You can specify the object class to the encoder to do things such as encoding using a superclass for something that’s a derived class (tbachman, 17:17:37)
   7. pantelis says there’s a javabeans class that can do the bean introspect on a class and will return all the property descriptors (tbachman, 17:30:57)
   8. ttkacik says the yang binding has a binding reflections class that also provides these convenience functions (tbachman, 17:31:24)
   9. devinavery asks Sharon for a higher level picture with the serializer/deserializer (tbachman, 17:50:46)
   10. moizr asks how the datastore would handle restconf (tbachman, 17:51:39)
   11. Sharon says he hasn’t created RESTCONF for this datastore yet (tbachman, 17:51:50)
   12. Sharon says they have a “collector”, which is an external JVM, which will eventually pass this data to the controller (tbachman, 17:52:14)
