DWR does not recognize generic type parameter

[Hubert Yang]

Hi, all:

I got a super class that defines methods with generic parameters (along with some DWR annotation), i.e:

---------------------------------------
@RemoteProxy(creator = GuiceCreator.class)
public class BaseClass <T> (
 @RemoteMethod
 public add(T domainObj){
  //...
 }
}
---------------------------------------

and a subclass that only inherit the above class:

---------------------------------------
@RemoteProxy(creator = GuiceCreator.class)
public class SubClass extends BaseClass<MyDomainObject> { }
---------------------------------------

and of course:

---------------------------------------
@DataTransferObject
public class MyDomainObject implements java.io.Serializable {
 @RemoteProperty
 private String property;
 
 //...
}
---------------------------------------

in dwr.xml, I have the following:

---------------------------------------
<dwr>
 <allow>
  <convert converter="bean" match="com.mypackage.domain.*"/>
 </allow>
</dwr>
---------------------------------------

When I deploy that to my WAR and try to run the code, exception was thrown:

---------------------------------------
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: "Missing method or missing parameter converters"
---------------------------------------

So I checked the dwr test page, only to find the following:

---------------------------------------
(Warning: No Converter for java.lang.Object. See below)
---------------------------------------

It seems DWR does not recognize my generic parameter in SubClass which should be actually com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject,
but use java.lang.Object instead.

So I tried another way:

---------------------------------------
@RemoteProxy(creator = GuiceCreator.class)
public class SubClass extends BaseClass<MyDomainObject> {

    @Override
    @RemoteMethod
    public void add(MyDomainObject obj) {
        super.add(obj);
    }
---------------------------------------

Code works, but I still got "(Warning: overloaded methods are not recommended. See below) " in the test page (Yes, this is a reasonable warning).

And also trying to add the following to dwr.xml:
---------------------------------------
 <signatures>
   <![CDATA[
   import com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject;
   import com.mypackage.SubClass;
   SubClass.add(MyDomainObject obj);
   ]]>
 </signatures>
---------------------------------------

which does not work.

Is there a workaround for this so that DWR could recognize this kind of generic paramter without re-define a method with new name in SubClass (I really saved a lot of code by using generic types)

FYI: I use DWR 2.0.5 and JDK1.5

Any ideas/comments are appreciated.

 

DWR needs to be able to create T from a JavaScript object.  Finding out
what T is, is not exactly straightforward.  DWR has a feature to make
this easier.  See "Mapping Java classes to JavaScript classes" here:
http://directwebremoting.org/dwr/server/dwrxml/converters/bean.html

Let us know if it helps you out.  You will need to specify a converter
for each bean:
<convert converter="bean" match="com.mypackage.domain.Bean1"
javascript="bean1"/>
etc.

Thanks for the reply, David

 

I added the following line in dwr.xml:

 

<convert converter="bean" match="java.lang.Object" javascript="MyObject" />

<convert converter="bean" match="com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject" javascript="MyDomainObj"/>

 

however, when I try to create a new javascript object:

 

var record = new MyDomainObj();

 

in firebug I was told: MyDomainObj is not defined.

 

Do I need to include some extra js files in html header? I only find the definition of "MyObject" in ${webroot}/dwr/interface/SubClass.js

 

The page you give use the following example which is not the case for me here (I need to create a new MyDomainObj from scratch):

 

 var p = ... // get an Employee from the server

 

On the other hand, In dwr test page, the "no converter warning for java.lang.Object" is gone, and the tooltip of add() method says "Will be converted to: java.lang.Object"

 

This is pretty weird to me since DWR still cound not regonize the correct type of T here.

The first line does not make sense. Check the JS generated by DWR and look for MyDomainObj in there

Hey Jose:

 

This does NOT help things out.

My problem is how to define the MyDomainObject so that it could be regonized by DWR.

 

No matter the first line is included or not, the javascript error "MyDomainObj" is always there. That is the key problem.

Hubert,
   You have a lot going on here.  When trying to fix problems it is
always best to simplify things - which you have not done.  Why are you
mixing annotations with dwr.xml configuration?  You also have creators
(RemoteProxys) defined for both the subclass and the superclass.  I have
never done this before but I would think you would only need a
RemoteProxy for the subclass.  I believe the MyDomainObject will be
defined in the DWR generated interface file (I would assume this would
be the JavaScript interface generated for SubClass).  The test page
should help you out in seeing the generated JavaScript.  If this doesn't
help I would suggest simplifying by configuring (for now) with just the
dwr.xml - get that working and then move on and make things more complex.

Apologies if my explanation confuses you

 

Actually I use annotation to reduce the size of xml configuration file and also for better refactor support.

I use guice injection in my own business logic, so if I do not use guice in combination with DWR, my backend code will probably not work via DWR ajax.

 

Yes you are right, superclass does not need the @RemoteProxy here, I have removed it. thanks for reminding.

 

Anyway, I will use some mockup service without any guice dependency and use only dwr.xml to check if things are working.

 

Thanks for the kind hint, I will let you know the result.

Hubert,
 You have a lot going on here.  When trying to fix problems it is always best to simplify things - which you have not done.  Why are you mixing annotations with dwr.xml configuration?  You also have creators (RemoteProxys) defined for both the subclass and the superclass.  I have never done this before but I would think you would only need a RemoteProxy for the subclass.  I believe the MyDomainObject will be defined in the DWR generated interface file (I would assume this would be the JavaScript interface generated for SubClass).  The test page should help you out in seeing the generated JavaScript.  If this doesn't help I would suggest simplifying by configuring (for now) with just the dwr.xml - get that working and then move on and make things more complex.

Hey Jose:
 This does NOT help things out.
My problem is how to define the MyDomainObject so that it could be regonized by DWR.
 No matter the first line is included or not, the javascript error "MyDomainObj" is always there. That is the key problem.

       Thanks for the reply, David
               I added the following line in dwr.xml:
               <convert converter="bean"
       match="java.lang.Object" javascript="MyObject" />
       <convert converter="bean"
       match="com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject"
       javascript="MyDomainObj"/>
               however, when I try to create a new javascript object:
               var record = new MyDomainObj();
               in firebug I was told: MyDomainObj is not defined.
               Do I need to include some extra js files in html header? I
       only find the definition of "MyObject" in
       ${webroot}/dwr/interface/SubClass.js
               The page you give use the following example which is not the
       case for me here (I need to create a new MyDomainObj from
       scratch):
                var p = ... // get an Employee from the server
               On the other hand, In dwr test page, the "no converter warning
       for java.lang.Object" is gone, and the tooltip of add()
       method says "Will be converted to: java.lang.Object"
               This is pretty weird to me since DWR still cound not regonize
       the correct type of T here.

           DWR needs to be able to create T from a JavaScript object.

            DWR has a feature to make this easier.  See "Mapping Java

           http://directwebremoting.org/dwr/server/dwrxml/converters/bean.html

           Let us know if it helps you out.  You will need to specify
           a converter for each bean:
           <convert converter="bean"

           etc.

               Hi, all:

               I got a super class that defines methods with generic
               parameters (along with some DWR annotation), i.e:

               ---------------------------------------
               @RemoteProxy(creator = GuiceCreator.class)
               public class BaseClass <T> (
                @RemoteMethod
                public add(T domainObj){
                //...
                }
               }
               ---------------------------------------

               and a subclass that only inherit the above class:

               ---------------------------------------
               @RemoteProxy(creator = GuiceCreator.class)
               public class SubClass extends
               BaseClass<MyDomainObject> { }
               ---------------------------------------

               and of course:

               ---------------------------------------
               @DataTransferObject
               public class MyDomainObject implements
               java.io.Serializable {
                @RemoteProperty
                private String property;
                 //...
               }
               ---------------------------------------

               in dwr.xml, I have the following:

               ---------------------------------------
               <dwr>
                <allow>
                <convert converter="bean"
               match="com.mypackage.domain.*"/>
                </allow>
               </dwr>
               ---------------------------------------

               When I deploy that to my WAR and try to run the code,
               exception was thrown:

               ---------------------------------------
               java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: "Missing method or
               missing parameter converters"
               ---------------------------------------

               So I checked the dwr test page, only to find the
               following:

               ---------------------------------------
               (Warning: No Converter for java.lang.Object. See below)
               ---------------------------------------

               It seems DWR does not recognize my generic parameter
               in SubClass which should be actually
               com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject,
               but use java.lang.Object instead.


               So I tried another way:

               ---------------------------------------
               @RemoteProxy(creator = GuiceCreator.class)
               public class SubClass extends BaseClass<MyDomainObject> {

                  @Override
                  @RemoteMethod
                  public void add(MyDomainObject obj) {
                      super.add(obj);
                  }
               ---------------------------------------

               Code works, but I still got "(Warning: overloaded
               methods are not recommended. See below) " in the test
               page (Yes, this is a reasonable warning).


               And also trying to add the following to dwr.xml:
               ---------------------------------------
                <signatures>
                 <![CDATA[
                 import com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject;
                 import com.mypackage.SubClass;
                 SubClass.add(MyDomainObject obj);
                 ]]>
                </signatures>
               ---------------------------------------

               which does not work.


               Is there a workaround for this so that DWR could
               recognize this kind of generic paramter without
               re-define a method with new name in SubClass (I really
               saved a lot of code by using generic types)

               FYI: I use DWR 2.0.5 and JDK1.5

               Any ideas/comments are appreciated.

Hubert,
   I understand why you are using the annotations.  I just don't know
why you are mixing them with the dwr.xml - seems to me you could
eliminate dwr.xml completely.  I think your problem is arising from
mixing the two:

You have the following annotation specified:
@DataTransferObject
public class MyDomainObject implements

The @DataTransferObject declares a DWR converter.  But then you also
have the same converter specified in your dwr.xml:
<convert converter="bean"
       match="com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject"
       javascript="MyDomainObj"/>

My guess is that the annotation converter is being used which is why the
MyDomainObj JavaScript class is not being created.  I think this
illustrates why I said - one or the other.

Originally I only have the following in my dwr.xml:

 

<dwr>
 <allow>
  <convert match="java.lang.Exception" converter="exception">
 </allow>

</dwr>

 

in order to have a better understanding of the exception message in js exception handler (Yes, I know this could be done via annotation, I will remove the dwr.xml completely)

 

the following line was added when I read the document you give:

 

<convert converter="bean" match="com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject" javascript="MyDomainObj" />

 

because I can not figure out how to add the "javascript" property in annoation.

 

By default, the converter for @DataTransfterObject is exactly the bean converter, so I don't think this will cause inconsistency

 

I am now trying to testing without annotation.

Hubert,
 I understand why you are using the annotations.  I just don't know why you are mixing them with the dwr.xml - seems to me you could eliminate dwr.xml completely.  I think your problem is arising from mixing the two:

You have the following annotation specified:

@DataTransferObject
public class MyDomainObject implements

The @DataTransferObject declares a DWR converter.  But then you also have the same converter specified in your dwr.xml:
<convert converter="bean"

     match="com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject"
     javascript="MyDomainObj"/>

My guess is that the annotation converter is being used which is why the MyDomainObj JavaScript class is not being created.  I think this illustrates why I said - one or the other.

Apologies if my explanation confuses you
 Actually I use annotation to reduce the size of xml configuration file and also for better refactor support.
I use guice injection in my own business logic, so if I do not use guice in combination with DWR, my backend code will probably not work via DWR ajax.
 Yes you are right, superclass does not need the @RemoteProxy here, I have removed it. thanks for reminding.
 Anyway, I will use some mockup service without any guice dependency and use only dwr.xml to check if things are working.
 Thanks for the kind hint, I will let you know the result.

   Hubert,
    You have a lot going on here.  When trying to fix problems it is
   always best to simplify things - which you have not done.  Why are
   you mixing annotations with dwr.xml configuration?  You also have
   creators (RemoteProxys) defined for both the subclass and the
   superclass.  I have never done this before but I would think you
   would only need a RemoteProxy for the subclass.  I believe the
   MyDomainObject will be defined in the DWR generated interface file
   (I would assume this would be the JavaScript interface generated
   for SubClass).  The test page should help you out in seeing the
   generated JavaScript.  If this doesn't help I would suggest
   simplifying by configuring (for now) with just the dwr.xml - get
   that working and then move on and make things more complex.

       Hey Jose:
        This does NOT help things out.
       My problem is how to define the MyDomainObject so that it
       could be regonized by DWR.
        No matter the first line is included or not, the javascript
       error "MyDomainObj" is always there. That is the key problem.

                      I added the following line in dwr.xml:

                      however, when I try to create a new javascript
       object:
                      var record = new MyDomainObj();
                      in firebug I was told: MyDomainObj is not defined.
                      Do I need to include some extra js files in

              only find the definition of "MyObject" in
              ${webroot}/dwr/interface/SubClass.js
                      The page you give use the following example
       which is not the
              case for me here (I need to create a new MyDomainObj from
              scratch):
                       var p = ... // get an Employee from the server
                      On the other hand, In dwr test page, the "no
       converter warning
              for java.lang.Object" is gone, and the tooltip of add()
              method says "Will be converted to: java.lang.Object"
                      This is pretty weird to me since DWR still
       cound not regonize
              the correct type of T here.

                      Hi, all:

                      I got a super class that defines methods with
       generic
                      parameters (along with some DWR annotation), i.e:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      @RemoteProxy(creator = GuiceCreator.class)
                      public class BaseClass <T> (
                       @RemoteMethod
                       public add(T domainObj){
                       //...
                       }
                      }
                      ---------------------------------------

                      and a subclass that only inherit the above class:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      @RemoteProxy(creator = GuiceCreator.class)
                      public class SubClass extends
                      BaseClass<MyDomainObject> { }
                      ---------------------------------------

                      and of course:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      @DataTransferObject
                      public class MyDomainObject implements
                      java.io.Serializable {
                       @RemoteProperty
                       private String property;
                        //...
                      }
                      ---------------------------------------

                      in dwr.xml, I have the following:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      <dwr>
                       <allow>
                       <convert converter="bean"
                      match="com.mypackage.domain.*"/>
                       </allow>
                      </dwr>
                      ---------------------------------------

                      When I deploy that to my WAR and try to run the
       code,
                      exception was thrown:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: "Missing
       method or
                      missing parameter converters"
                      ---------------------------------------

                      So I checked the dwr test page, only to find the
                      following:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      (Warning: No Converter for java.lang.Object.
       See below)
                      ---------------------------------------

                      It seems DWR does not recognize my generic
       parameter
                      in SubClass which should be actually
                      com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject,
                      but use java.lang.Object instead.


                      So I tried another way:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      @RemoteProxy(creator = GuiceCreator.class)
                      public class SubClass extends
       BaseClass<MyDomainObject> {

                         @Override
                         @RemoteMethod
                         public void add(MyDomainObject obj) {
                             super.add(obj);
                         }
                      ---------------------------------------

                      Code works, but I still got "(Warning: overloaded
                      methods are not recommended. See below) " in
       the test
                      page (Yes, this is a reasonable warning).


                      And also trying to add the following to dwr.xml:
                      ---------------------------------------
                       <signatures>
                        <![CDATA[
                        import com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject;
                        import com.mypackage.SubClass;
                        SubClass.add(MyDomainObject obj);
                        ]]>
                       </signatures>
                      ---------------------------------------

                      which does not work.


                      Is there a workaround for this so that DWR could
                      recognize this kind of generic paramter without
                      re-define a method with new name in SubClass (I
       really
                      saved a lot of code by using generic types)

                      FYI: I use DWR 2.0.5 and JDK1.5

                      Any ideas/comments are appreciated.

David:

 

Now I use only the traditional way of DWR, with the following xml and without any annotation:

 

-------------------------------------

<dwr>
 <allow>
  <create creator="new" javascript="SubClass">
   <param name="class" value="com.mypackage.SubClass" />
  </create>
  <convert match="java.lang.Exception" converter="exception" />
  <convert match="com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject" converter="bean" javascript="MyDomainObj" />
 </allow>
</dwr>

-------------------------------------

 

Now I was able to find the definition of MyDomainObj function in SubClass.js, but in the test/debug page, the parameter for add is still java.lang.Object, not com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject

 

when I create a new MyDomainObj js object and sent it to server via dwr, exception is thrown:

 

-------------------------------------

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Missing method or missing parameter converters

-------------------------------------

 

I think it is conplaining that no converter could be found for java.lang.Object

 

So the problem goes back to the title again: DWR does not recognize generic type parameter (with inheritance)

 

I may upload my project tomorrow if this is necessary, since it's already over midnight here.

 

thank you and have a nice day, see you tomorrow.

                        <![CDATA[

Hubert,
 I understand why you are using the annotations.  I just don't know why you are mixing them with the dwr.xml - seems to me you could eliminate dwr.xml completely.  I think your problem is arising from mixing the two:

You have the following annotation specified:

@DataTransferObject
public class MyDomainObject implements

Remove the xml config and use @DTO(javascript = "whatever")

Regards

 

The @DataTransferObject declares a DWR converter.  But then you also have the same converter specified in your dwr.xml:
<convert converter="bean"

     match="com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject"
     javascript="MyDomainObj"/>

My guess is that the annotation converter is being used which is why the MyDomainObj JavaScript class is not being created.  I think this illustrates why I said - one or the other.

Apologies if my explanation confuses you
 Actually I use annotation to reduce the size of xml configuration file and also for better refactor support.
I use guice injection in my own business logic, so if I do not use guice in combination with DWR, my backend code will probably not work via DWR ajax.
 Yes you are right, superclass does not need the @RemoteProxy here, I have removed it. thanks for reminding.
 Anyway, I will use some mockup service without any guice dependency and use only dwr.xml to check if things are working.
 Thanks for the kind hint, I will let you know the result.

   Hubert,
    You have a lot going on here.  When trying to fix problems it is
   always best to simplify things - which you have not done.  Why are
   you mixing annotations with dwr.xml configuration?  You also have
   creators (RemoteProxys) defined for both the subclass and the
   superclass.  I have never done this before but I would think you
   would only need a RemoteProxy for the subclass.  I believe the
   MyDomainObject will be defined in the DWR generated interface file
   (I would assume this would be the JavaScript interface generated
   for SubClass).  The test page should help you out in seeing the
   generated JavaScript.  If this doesn't help I would suggest
   simplifying by configuring (for now) with just the dwr.xml - get
   that working and then move on and make things more complex.

        No matter the first line is included or not, the javascript

                      I got a super class that defines methods with

                      ---------------------------------------

                      and a subclass that only inherit the above class:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      @RemoteProxy(creator = GuiceCreator.class)
                      public class SubClass extends
                      BaseClass<MyDomainObject> { }
                      ---------------------------------------

                      and of course:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      @DataTransferObject
                      public class MyDomainObject implements
                      java.io.Serializable {

                       private String property;
                        //...
                      }
                      ---------------------------------------

                      in dwr.xml, I have the following:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      <dwr>
                       <allow>

                      </dwr>
                      ---------------------------------------

                      When I deploy that to my WAR and try to run the
       code,
                      exception was thrown:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: "Missing

                      So I checked the dwr test page, only to find the
                      following:

                      (Warning: No Converter for java.lang.Object.

                      It seems DWR does not recognize my generic

                      in SubClass which should be actually
                      com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject,
                      but use java.lang.Object instead.


                      So I tried another way:

                      @RemoteProxy(creator = GuiceCreator.class)
                      public class SubClass extends

                         public void add(MyDomainObject obj) {
                             super.add(obj);

                      page (Yes, this is a reasonable warning).


                      And also trying to add the following to dwr.xml:

David:

 

I have attached a simple web application that demostrate my problem, you can import into Eclipse and run index.jsp

 

Maven is required to download the library dependency (alternatively you can put dwr-2.0.5.jar&commons-logging-1.1.1.jar in MyWebApp\src\main\webapp\WEB-INF\lib folder).

Please let me know if my problem could be re-produced.

 

Thanks

Now I use only the traditional way of DWR, with the following xml and without any annotation:

 

-------------------------------------

<dwr>
 <allow>
  <create creator="new" javascript="SubClass">
   <param name="class" value="com.mypackage.SubClass" />
  </create>

  <convert match="java.lang.Exception" converter="exception" />

  <convert match="com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject" converter="bean" javascript="MyDomainObj" />
 </allow>
</dwr>

-------------------------------------

 

Now I was able to find the definition of MyDomainObj function in SubClass.js, but in the test/debug page, the parameter for add is still java.lang.Object, not com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject

 

when I create a new MyDomainObj js object and sent it to server via dwr, exception is thrown:

 

-------------------------------------

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Missing method or missing parameter converters

-------------------------------------

 

I think it is conplaining that no converter could be found for java.lang.Object

 

So the problem goes back to the title again: DWR does not recognize generic type parameter (with inheritance)

 

I may upload my project tomorrow if this is necessary, since it's already over midnight here.

 

thank you and have a nice day, see you tomorrow.

the following line was added when I read the document you give:

because I can not figure out how to add the "javascript" property in annoation.

 

By default, the converter for @DataTransfterObject is exactly the bean converter, so I don't think this will cause inconsistency

 

I am now trying to testing without annotation.

                       private String property;
                        //...
                      }
                      ---------------------------------------

                      in dwr.xml, I have the following:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      <dwr>
                       <allow>
                       <convert converter="bean"
                      match="com.mypackage.domain.*"/>
                       </allow>
                      </dwr>
                      ---------------------------------------

                      When I deploy that to my WAR and try to run the
       code,
                      exception was thrown:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: "Missing
       method or
                      missing parameter converters"
                      ---------------------------------------

                      So I checked the dwr test page, only to find the
                      following:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      (Warning: No Converter for java.lang.Object.
       See below)
                      ---------------------------------------

                      It seems DWR does not recognize my generic
       parameter
                      in SubClass which should be actually
                      com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject,
                      but use java.lang.Object instead.


                      So I tried another way:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      @RemoteProxy(creator = GuiceCreator.class)
                      public class SubClass extends
       BaseClass<MyDomainObject> {

                         @Override
                         @RemoteMethod
                         public void add(MyDomainObject obj) {
                             super.add(obj);
                         }
                      ---------------------------------------

                      Code works, but I still got "(Warning: overloaded
                      methods are not recommended. See below) " in
       the test
                      page (Yes, this is a reasonable warning).


                      And also trying to add the following to dwr.xml:
                      ---------------------------------------
                       <signatures>
                        <![CDATA[
                        import com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject;
                        import com.mypackage.SubClass;
                        SubClass.add(MyDomainObject obj);
                        ]]>
                       </signatures>
                      ---------------------------------------

                      which does not work.


                      Is there a workaround for this so that DWR could
                      recognize this kind of generic paramter without
                      re-define a method with new name in SubClass (I
       really
                      saved a lot of code by using generic types)

                      FYI: I use DWR 2.0.5 and JDK1.5

                      Any ideas/comments are appreciated.

Now I was able to find the definition of MyDomainObj function in SubClass.js, but in the test/debug page, the parameter for add is still java.lang.Object, not com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject

 

when I create a new MyDomainObj js object and sent it to server via dwr, exception is thrown:

 

-------------------------------------

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Missing method or missing parameter converters

I think it is conplaining that no converter could be found for java.lang.Object

 

So the problem goes back to the title again: DWR does not recognize generic type parameter (with inheritance)

 

I may upload my project tomorrow if this is necessary, since it's already over midnight here.

By default, the converter for @DataTransfterObject is exactly the bean converter, so I don't think this will cause inconsistency

Hubert,
 I understand why you are using the annotations.  I just don't know why you are mixing them with the dwr.xml - seems to me you could eliminate dwr.xml completely.  I think your problem is arising from mixing the two:

You have the following annotation specified:

@DataTransferObject
public class MyDomainObject implements

The @DataTransferObject declares a DWR converter.  But then you also have the same converter specified in your dwr.xml:
<convert converter="bean"

     match="com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject"
     javascript="MyDomainObj"/>

My guess is that the annotation converter is being used which is why the MyDomainObj JavaScript class is not being created.  I think this illustrates why I said - one or the other.

   Hubert,
    You have a lot going on here.  When trying to fix problems it is

   creators (RemoteProxys) defined for both the subclass and the
   superclass.  I have never done this before but I would think you
   would only need a RemoteProxy for the subclass.  I believe the
   MyDomainObject will be defined in the DWR generated interface file
   (I would assume this would be the JavaScript interface generated
   for SubClass).  The test page should help you out in seeing the
   generated JavaScript.  If this doesn't help I would suggest
   simplifying by configuring (for now) with just the dwr.xml - get
   that working and then move on and make things more complex.

       Hey Jose:

       My problem is how to define the MyDomainObject so that it

        No matter the first line is included or not, the javascript

                      Hi, all:

                      I got a super class that defines methods with

                      ---------------------------------------
                      @RemoteProxy(creator = GuiceCreator.class)
                      public class BaseClass <T> (

                      }
                      ---------------------------------------

                      and a subclass that only inherit the above class:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      @RemoteProxy(creator = GuiceCreator.class)
                      public class SubClass extends
                      BaseClass<MyDomainObject> { }
                      ---------------------------------------

                      and of course:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      @DataTransferObject
                      public class MyDomainObject implements
                      java.io.Serializable {
                       @RemoteProperty
                       private String property;
                        //...
                      }
                      ---------------------------------------

                      in dwr.xml, I have the following:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      <dwr>
                       <allow>
                       <convert converter="bean"
                      match="com.mypackage.domain.*"/>
                       </allow>
                      </dwr>
                      ---------------------------------------

                      When I deploy that to my WAR and try to run the
       code,
                      exception was thrown:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: "Missing
       method or
                      missing parameter converters"
                      ---------------------------------------

                      So I checked the dwr test page, only to find the
                      following:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      (Warning: No Converter for java.lang.Object.
       See below)
                      ---------------------------------------

                      It seems DWR does not recognize my generic
       parameter
                      in SubClass which should be actually
                      com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject,
                      but use java.lang.Object instead.


                      So I tried another way:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      @RemoteProxy(creator = GuiceCreator.class)

                         public void add(MyDomainObject obj) {
                             super.add(obj);
                         }
                      ---------------------------------------

                      Code works, but I still got "(Warning: overloaded
                      methods are not recommended. See below) " in
       the test
                      page (Yes, this is a reasonable warning).


                      And also trying to add the following to dwr.xml:
                      ---------------------------------------
                       <signatures>
                        <![CDATA[
                        import com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject;
                        import com.mypackage.SubClass;

                        ]]>
                       </signatures>
                      ---------------------------------------

                      which does not work.


                      Is there a workaround for this so that DWR could
                      recognize this kind of generic paramter without
                      re-define a method with new name in SubClass (I
       really
                      saved a lot of code by using generic types)

                      FYI: I use DWR 2.0.5 and JDK1.5

I think this may be the same issue as this http://bugs.directwebremoting.org/bugs/browse/DWR-125. From memory, when you use reflection on a generic class there may be two copies of each method... one is marked as volitile. This is probably why dwr is complaining about overloading methods.

I think that a slight change is required to DWR to choose the non-volatile method in these cases.

   would only need a RemoteProxy for the subclass.  I believe the
   MyDomainObject will be defined in the DWR generated interface file
   (I would assume this would be the JavaScript interface generated
   for SubClass).  The test page should help you out in seeing the
   generated JavaScript.  If this doesn't help I would suggest
   simplifying by configuring (for now) with just the dwr.xml - get
   that working and then move on and make things more complex.

       Hey Jose:
        This does NOT help things out.
       My problem is how to define the MyDomainObject so that it
       could be regonized by DWR.
        No matter the first line is included or not, the javascript
       error "MyDomainObj" is always there. That is the key problem.

              Thanks for the reply, David
                      I added the following line in dwr.xml:
                      <convert converter="bean"
              match="java.lang.Object" javascript="MyObject" />
              <convert converter="bean"
              match="com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject"
              javascript="MyDomainObj"/>
                      however, when I try to create a new javascript
       object:
                      var record = new MyDomainObj();
                      in firebug I was told: MyDomainObj is not defined.
                      Do I need to include some extra js files in
       html header? I
              only find the definition of "MyObject" in
              ${webroot}/dwr/interface/SubClass.js
                      The page you give use the following example
       which is not the
              case for me here (I need to create a new MyDomainObj from
              scratch):
                       var p = ... // get an Employee from the server
                      On the other hand, In dwr test page, the "no
       converter warning
              for java.lang.Object" is gone, and the tooltip of add()
              method says "Will be converted to: java.lang.Object"
                      This is pretty weird to me since DWR still
       cound not regonize
              the correct type of T here.

                  DWR needs to be able to create T from a JavaScript

                   Finding out what T is, is not exactly straightforward.
                   DWR has a feature to make this easier.  See
       "Mapping Java
                  classes to JavaScript classes" here:
                        http://directwebremoting.org/dwr/server/dwrxml/converters/bean.html

                  Let us know if it helps you out.  You will need to
       specify
                  a converter for each bean:
                  <convert converter="bean"
                  match="com.mypackage.domain.Bean1" javascript="bean1"/>
                  etc.

                      Hi, all:

                      I got a super class that defines methods with
       generic
                      parameters (along with some DWR annotation), i.e:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      @RemoteProxy(creator = GuiceCreator.class)
                      public class BaseClass <T> (
                       @RemoteMethod
                       public add(T domainObj){
                       //...
                       }
                      }
                      ---------------------------------------

                      and a subclass that only inherit the above class:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      @RemoteProxy(creator = GuiceCreator.class)
                      public class SubClass extends
                      BaseClass<MyDomainObject> { }
                      ---------------------------------------

                      and of course:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      @DataTransferObject
                      public class MyDomainObject implements
                      java.io.Serializable {
                       @RemoteProperty
                       private String property;
                        //...
                      }
                      ---------------------------------------

                      in dwr.xml, I have the following:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      <dwr>
                       <allow>
                       <convert converter="bean"
                      match="com.mypackage.domain.*"/>
                       </allow>
                      </dwr>
                      ---------------------------------------

                      When I deploy that to my WAR and try to run the
       code,
                      exception was thrown:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: "Missing
       method or
                      missing parameter converters"
                      ---------------------------------------

                      So I checked the dwr test page, only to find the
                      following:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      (Warning: No Converter for java.lang.Object.
       See below)
                      ---------------------------------------

                      It seems DWR does not recognize my generic
       parameter
                      in SubClass which should be actually
                      com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject,
                      but use java.lang.Object instead.


                      So I tried another way:

                      ---------------------------------------
                      @RemoteProxy(creator = GuiceCreator.class)
                      public class SubClass extends
       BaseClass<MyDomainObject> {

                         @Override
                         @RemoteMethod
                         public void add(MyDomainObject obj) {
                             super.add(obj);
                         }
                      ---------------------------------------

                      Code works, but I still got "(Warning: overloaded
                      methods are not recommended. See below) " in
       the test
                      page (Yes, this is a reasonable warning).


                      And also trying to add the following to dwr.xml:
                      ---------------------------------------
                       <signatures>
                        <![CDATA[
                        import com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject;
                        import com.mypackage.SubClass;
                        SubClass.add(MyDomainObject obj);
                        ]]>
                       </signatures>
                      ---------------------------------------

                      which does not work.


                      Is there a workaround for this so that DWR could
                      recognize this kind of generic paramter without
                      re-define a method with new name in SubClass (I
       really
                      saved a lot of code by using generic types)

                      FYI: I use DWR 2.0.5 and JDK1.5

                      Any ideas/comments are appreciated.

I am not sure but from looking at this code I wouldn't expect this to
work.  Can someone else (Jose, Lande) take a look at this?

I've only managed this kind of configuration to work using Spring, DWR 3.0 and JS mapped classes. I can't help that much with 2.x and Guice

I am not sure but from looking at this code I wouldn't expect this to work.  Can someone else (Jose, Lande) take a look at this?

I think this may be the same issue as this http://bugs.directwebremoting.org/bugs/browse/DWR-125. From memory, when you use reflection on a generic class there may be two copies of each method... one is marked as volitile. This is probably why dwr is complaining about overloading methods.

I think that a slight change is required to DWR to choose the non-volatile method in these cases.

           server via dwr, exception is thrown:
                       -------------------------------------
           java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Missing method or
           missing parameter converters
           -------------------------------------
                       I think it is conplaining that no converter could be found
           for java.lang.Object
                       So the problem goes back to the title again: DWR does not
           recognize generic type parameter (with inheritance)
                       I may upload my project tomorrow if this is necessary,
           since it's already over midnight here.
                       thank you and have a nice day, see you tomorrow.

                               in order to have a better understanding of the

               this could be done via annotation, I will remove the

                               the following line was added when I read the document
               you give:
                               <convert converter="bean"
               match="com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject" javascript="MyDomainObj"
               />
                               because I can not figure out how to add the
               "javascript" property in annoation.
                               By default, the converter for @DataTransfterObject is
               exactly the bean converter, so I don't think this will
               cause inconsistency
                               I am now trying to testing without annotation.

                   Hubert,
                    I understand why you are using the annotations.
                    I just don't know why you are mixing them with
                   the dwr.xml - seems to me you could eliminate
                   dwr.xml completely.  I think your problem is
                   arising from mixing the two:

                   You have the following annotation specified:

                   @DataTransferObject
                   public class MyDomainObject implements

                   The @DataTransferObject declares a DWR converter.
                    But then you also have the same converter
                   specified in your dwr.xml:
                   <convert converter="bean"

                        match="com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject"
                        javascript="MyDomainObj"/>

                   My guess is that the annotation converter is being
                   used which is why the MyDomainObj JavaScript class
                   is not being created.  I think this illustrates
                   why I said - one or the other.

                       Apologies if my explanation confuses you
                        Actually I use annotation to reduce the size
                       of xml configuration file and also for better
                       refactor support.
                       I use guice injection in my own business
                       logic, so if I do not use guice in combination
                       with DWR, my backend code will probably not
                       work via DWR ajax.
                        Yes you are right, superclass does not need
                       the @RemoteProxy here, I have removed it.
                       thanks for reminding.
                        Anyway, I will use some mockup service
                       without any guice dependency and use only
                       dwr.xml to check if things are working.
                        Thanks for the kind hint, I will let you know
                       the result.

                          Hubert,
                           You have a lot going on here.  When trying
                       to fix problems it is
                          always best to simplify things - which you
                       have not done.  Why are
                          you mixing annotations with dwr.xml
                       configuration?  You also have
                          creators (RemoteProxys) defined for both
                       the subclass and the
                          superclass.  I have never done this before
                       but I would think you
                          would only need a RemoteProxy for the
                       subclass.  I believe the
                          MyDomainObject will be defined in the DWR
                       generated interface file
                          (I would assume this would be the
                       JavaScript interface generated
                          for SubClass).  The test page should help
                       you out in seeing the
                          generated JavaScript.  If this doesn't help
                       I would suggest
                          simplifying by configuring (for now) with
                       just the dwr.xml - get
                          that working and then move on and make
                       things more complex.

                              Hey Jose:
                               This does NOT help things out.
                              My problem is how to define the
                       MyDomainObject so that it
                              could be regonized by DWR.
                               No matter the first line is included
                       or not, the javascript
                              error "MyDomainObj" is always there.
                       That is the key problem.

                                             in firebug I was told:

                                             Code works, but I still

                                             And also trying to add

I got to the bottom of this.  It is certainly NOT a bug in DWR.  It is a
bug in Hubert's JavaScript code:

  var record = new MyDomainObj();
   record = {
       id : null,
       name : null,
       age : null
   };
   dwr.util.getValues(record);
   dwr.engine.beginBatch();
   if (type == "add") {
       SubClass.add(record);

Hubert, your are overwriting the type when you re-assign record to a new
hash (record { id: null, name: null, age: null }).  You need to do
something like this:

var record = new MyDomainObj();
record.id = dwr.util.getValue("idField");
record.name = dwr.util.getValue("nameField");
etc.
etc.

When I changed this the method was remoted properly by DWR.  Next time
send us your complete code (JavaScript, Java, etc.) instead of assuming
a bug in DWR.

I followed your javascript code but still got exception complaining about "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException", and in the DWR test page the parameter type is still java.lang.Object.

 

Besides, under the assumption that the code should work (despite of my local environment problem),  I will endup with writing code like "record.id = dwr.util.getValue("idField")" if MyDomainObj got lots of properties.

 

Anyway, I solve this problem by adding different remote method to SubClass (generally speaking, only CRUD operation), and call those methods instead of calling methods from SuperClass

 

Again, thanks a lot for helping me.

I got to the bottom of this.  It is certainly NOT a bug in DWR.  It is a bug in Hubert's JavaScript code:

 var record = new MyDomainObj();
 record = {
     id : null,
     name : null,
     age : null
 };
 dwr.util.getValues(record);
 dwr.engine.beginBatch();
 if (type == "add") {
     SubClass.add(record);

Hubert, your are overwriting the type when you re-assign record to a new hash (record { id: null, name: null, age: null }).  You need to do something like this:

var record = new MyDomainObj();
record.id = dwr.util.getValue("idField");
record.name = dwr.util.getValue("nameField");
etc.
etc.

When I changed this the method was remoted properly by DWR.  Next time send us your complete code (JavaScript, Java, etc.) instead of assuming a bug in DWR.

       I think this may be the same issue as this

       be two copies of each method... one is marked as volitile.
       This is probably why dwr is complaining about overloading methods.

       I think that a slight change is required to DWR to choose the
       non-volatile method in these cases.

                              Now I use only the traditional way of

                              -------------------------------------
                  <dwr>
                   <allow>
                    <create creator="new" javascript="SubClass">

                   </allow>
                  </dwr>
                  -------------------------------------
                              Now I was able to find the definition
       of MyDomainObj
                  function in SubClass.js, but in the test/debug
       page, the
                  parameter for add is still java.lang.Object, not
                  com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject
                              when I create a new MyDomainObj js
       object and sent it to
                  server via dwr, exception is thrown:
                              -------------------------------------
                  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Missing method or
                  missing parameter converters
                  -------------------------------------
                              I think it is conplaining that no
       converter could be found
                  for java.lang.Object
                              So the problem goes back to the title
       again: DWR does not
                  recognize generic type parameter (with inheritance)
                              I may upload my project tomorrow if
       this is necessary,
                  since it's already over midnight here.
                              thank you and have a nice day, see you

                          Hubert,
                           I understand why you are using the
       annotations.
                           I just don't know why you are mixing them with
                          the dwr.xml - seems to me you could eliminate
                          dwr.xml completely.  I think your problem is
                          arising from mixing the two:

                          You have the following annotation specified:

                          @DataTransferObject
                          public class MyDomainObject implements

                          The @DataTransferObject declares a DWR
       converter.
                           But then you also have the same converter
                          specified in your dwr.xml:
                          <convert converter="bean"

                                     match="com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject"
                               javascript="MyDomainObj"/>

                          My guess is that the annotation converter
       is being
                          used which is why the MyDomainObj
       JavaScript class
                          is not being created.  I think this illustrates
                          why I said - one or the other.

                              Apologies if my explanation confuses you

                              refactor support.
                              I use guice injection in my own business

                               Yes you are right, superclass does not
       need
                              the @RemoteProxy here, I have removed it.
                              thanks for reminding.
                               Anyway, I will use some mockup service
                              without any guice dependency and use only
                              dwr.xml to check if things are working.
                               Thanks for the kind hint, I will let

                                 always best to simplify things -

                                 you mixing annotations with dwr.xml
                              configuration?  You also have
                                 creators (RemoteProxys) defined for both
                              the subclass and the
                                 superclass.  I have never done this

                                 would only need a RemoteProxy for the

                                 MyDomainObject will be defined in
       the DWR
                              generated interface file
                                 (I would assume this would be the
                              JavaScript interface generated
                                 for SubClass).  The test page should
       help
                              you out in seeing the
                                 generated JavaScript.  If this
       doesn't help
                              I would suggest
                                 simplifying by configuring (for now)
       with

                                 that working and then move on and make

                                     object.
                                                 Finding out what T
       is, is
                              not exactly straightforward.
                                                 DWR has a feature to
       make
                              this easier.  See
                                     "Mapping Java
                                                classes to JavaScript
                              classes" here:
                                                                                        http://directwebremoting.org/dwr/server/dwrxml/converters/bean.html

                                                Let us know if it
       helps you
                              out.  You will need to
                                     specify
                                                a converter for each
       bean:
                                                <convert converter="bean"
                                                                            match="com.mypackage.domain.Bean1"
                              javascript="bean1"/>
                                                etc.

                                                    and a subclass
       that only

                                                    and of course:

                                                    @DataTransferObject

                                                    in dwr.xml, I
       have the
                              following:

                                                                                ---------------------------------------
                                                    <dwr>
                                                     <allow>
                                                     <convert
       converter="bean"
                                                                                match="com.mypackage.domain.*"/>
                                                     </allow>
                                                    </dwr>
                                                                                ---------------------------------------

                                                    When I deploy
       that to my
                              WAR and try to run the
                                     code,
                                                    exception was thrown:

                                                                                ---------------------------------------
                                                                                java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: "Missing
                                     method or

                              converters"
                                                                                ---------------------------------------

                                                    So I checked the dwr
                              test page, only to find the
                                                    following:

                                                                                ---------------------------------------
                                                    (Warning: No
       Converter
                              for java.lang.Object.
                                     See below)
                                                                                ---------------------------------------

                                                    It seems DWR does not
                              recognize my generic
                                     parameter
                                                    in SubClass which
       should
                              be actually
                                                                                com.mypackage.domain.MyDomainObject,
                                                    but use
       java.lang.Object
                              instead.


                                                    So I tried
       another way:

                                                                                ---------------------------------------
                                                          @RemoteProxy(creator =
                              GuiceCreator.class)
                                                    public class SubClass
                              extends
                                     BaseClass<MyDomainObject> {

                                                       @Override
                                                       @RemoteMethod
                                                       public void
                              add(MyDomainObject obj) {
                                                                 super.add(obj);
                                                       }
                                                                                ---------------------------------------

                                                    Code works, but I
       still
                              got "(Warning: overloaded
                                                    methods are not
                              recommended. See below) " in
                                     the test
                                                    page (Yes, this is a
                              reasonable warning).


                                                    And also trying
       to add
                              the following to dwr.xml:
                                                                                ---------------------------------------
                                                     <signatures>

                                                      import
                              com.mypackage.SubClass;
                                                                                  SubClass.add(MyDomainObject obj);
                                                      ]]>
                                                     </signatures>
                                                                                ---------------------------------------

                                                    which does not work.


                                                    Is there a workaround
                              for this so that DWR could
                                                    recognize this
       kind of
                              generic paramter without
                                                    re-define a
       method with
                              new name in SubClass (I
                                     really
                                                    saved a lot of
       code by
                              using generic types)

                                                    FYI: I use DWR
       2.0.5 and
                              JDK1.5

                                                    Any
       ideas/comments are
                              appreciated.

What do you expect to see on the DWR test page?  It does not know the
type of what you are passing until the method is called.  So you got
everything working?

Well, if you put your mouse over the textbox, the tooltip will tell you what type it will be converted to.

Here I am not talking about what type you are passing to DWR, but what type it is expecting for the method.

I expect to see "com.mypackage.MyDomainObject" instead of "java.lang.Object"

 

By what I mentioned above (adding new methods in SubClass and expose to DWR), I could see the correct type on test page, and of course no exception is thrown, code will work.
