Non-portable Classes
The following classes are known to be Non portable. As of Terracotta version 2.3, this list is not known to be complete—there may be classes that are not supported that are not in this list. This list may change with new releases of Terracotta as more of these classes become supported.
As a general rule, there are two types of unsupported classes in Terracotta:
- Never-Portable - these classes represent local resources or other non-shareable classes and are never shared.
- Unsupported - currently these classes are not supported by Terracotta but may be supported in the future.
Further Reading:
See the Concept and Architecture Guide for more information on portability in Terracotta.
Never-Portable Classes
This section describes classes which are never shareable. Generally, these classes are not shareable because they are intrinsically associated with a local resource such as a socket, a file descriptor, a thread and so on. The following list of classes is never shareable:
Note: If your current code base contains references to any of these classes, you can use the honor-transient setting of DSO (a mechanism to specify whether Terracotta should or should not share a field in a class that is marked with the transient keyword).
Further Reading:
See the Concept and Architecture Guide for more information on transience in Terracotta.
See the Configuration Guide and Reference for more information on configuring transience in Terracotta.
Unsupported Classes in Terracotta v. 2.4
Unsupported Classes in Terracotta v. 2.3
Unsupported Classes in Terracotta v. 2.2
In many cases the use of the java.util.concurrent.* classes can be substituted by an equivalent class from the oswego concurrent class library. Since most of the classes listed above are not inherently un-shareable, support for them will very likely be added in future releases of Terracotta.
