SerializationException loading a dictionary

[Michael Allman <ms...@allman.ms>]

Hi,

Why does the WTKXSerializer throw an exception if the component is an 
instance of the Dictionary interface and has static setters?  I have a 
Component class that implements Dictionary and I can't load instances of 
it.  I'm just going to disable the check for now.

Cheers,

Michael

Not really.  I want to use a custom adapter, but I didn't want to go 
mucking around in the serializer.  Implementing Dictionary seemed like the 
path of least resistance.

That check has been eliminated in 2.0. But I don't recommend implementing Dictionary in your Component subclass. That will cause all BXML attributes to be processed via the dictionary methods rather than BeanAdapter. OTOH, maybe that is the behavior you want.
