[jira] [Commented] (JAMES-2578) MQs should not rely on Serializable

["Gautier DI FOLCO (JIRA)" <se...@james.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-2578?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16843764#comment-16843764 ] 

Gautier DI FOLCO commented on JAMES-2578:
-----------------------------------------

We previously rely on Java's serialization to store mail attributes which was brittle.

We have introduced a new Mail API which exposes a dedicated type for attributes, giving them the ability to (de)serialize them to Json avoiding a large set of bug classes.

> Mail interface allows people to insert any Serializable object as an attribute.
> For now, we then relied on java serialization when putting Mail object into a MQ.
> Now that we try to write a new MailQueue on top of RabbitMQ, it makes sense to try to avoid this use of Serializable.
