Re: Hierachy of autobean for state serialization

Thanks for posting this, Panam. I was just starting to consider using
AutoBean with LocalStorage, since storing a JSON string seems like the
best solution than rolling my own custom serializer. I haven't gotten
too far into it beyond some simple test cases.

For 2), I seem to recall seeing that polymorphism for AutoBean is an
eventual goal for the GWT group, but 2.3 doesn't support it.

For 1), my thoughts would either be on using AutoBeanVisitor (which
can only see things already explicitly added, so probably not) or a
generator (which might trip up AutoBean's generator), but I haven't
tried either in the way you describe, so maybe I'm wrong.

I think the official way is to have an interface for each subclass in
your AutoBeanFactory, so for example:

public interface Base {
getName() / setName()
}

public class BaseImpl implements Base { ... }

public interface Color extends Base {
getColor() / setColor()
}

public class ColorImpl extends BaseImpl implements Color { ... }

public interface Serializer extends AutoBeanFactory {
AutoBean<Base> wrap(Base wrap);
AutoBean<Color> wrap(Color wrap);
}

That works if you only have a small handful of subclasses, but it gets
progressively worse the more you add.
