Norm stores local attributes in marshalled form, prevents codebase evolution

                 Key: RIVER-125
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RIVER-125
             Project: River
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: com_sun_jini_norm
    Affects Versions: jtsk_2.0
            Reporter: John McClain
            Priority: Minor


Bugtraq ID [4959687|http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4959687]

Norm stores all of its attributes in marshalled form in its persistent log,
including its initial attributes, whose code is supplied by its download
codebase.  When a codebase uses HTTPMD URLs, the codebase needs to be
changed whenever the contents of the download JAR file changes, either due to
additions or modifications in a patch release, or with the addition of
attributes.  Such a change alters the codebase of any attributed supplied
by the download JAR file, either causing the service to drop them if the new
export codebase has the same name, or else requiring giving the updated codebase
a new name.

Suggested Fix :

Don't store the codebase for attributes supplied by the service's download codebase.

Work Around :

Rename the download codebase whenever its contents are changed and continue to
supply the original codebase.
