>             Project: CloudStack
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>      Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the default.) 
>    Affects Versions: 4.6.0
>            Reporter: Wido den Hollander

> Currently CloudStack uses Google GSON 1.7.2 which is from 30-Sep-2011.
> This is a outdated version. CLOUDSTACK-8677 (Call-Home feature) uses GSON 2.3.1 (20-Nov-2014) which is not compatible with the current code.
> The roadmap of Gson shows that since 2.0 there is a change in casting: https://sites.google.com/site/gson/gson-roadmap
> "Gson 2.0 doesn’t support type adapters for primitive types."
> The "com.cloud.agent.transport.RequestTest" test in "core" fails with the new Gson version and this leads back to "ArrayTypeAdaptor" which does the serializing and de-serializing of JSON to Objects and back.
> Class<?> type = ((Class<?>)typeOfT).getComponentType();
> Fails, since getComponentType() doesn't return com.cloud.api.Command.
> This seems to be a Java Reflection issue.
