I have a REST client that populates a Geode region with Json data which the Geode REST API automatically converts to a PdxInstance type.
The region triggers a C# native client listener AfterCreate(EntryEvent<TKey, TVal> ev)
in which the TVal
type ev.NewValue
is seen as type PdxInstanceImpl
and looks like:
PDX[7534066,__GEMFIRE_JSON]{@type=MyClass, Field1=Value1, Field2=Value2}
I've seen from here that the following code can get at the individual Pdx fields
IPdxInstance pdx = (IPdxInstance)ev.NewValue;
pdx.GetField("Field1");
and that works on a Field level, but I want to convert the PdxInstanceImpl
that is received to PdxInstance
so it can be put into another region directly, or I want to convert all the fields back to Json (as a string) in 1 go and put a Json string into another region, or use it as I like.
So there is apparently a way to autoserialize a PdxInstance
to MyClass
but if I try
MyClass c = (MyClass)pdx;
then I get System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'Apache.Geode.Client.Internal.PdxInstanceImpl' to type 'MyClass'
I've seen from some Java client examples you can use type PdxInstanceImpl
to get at the data but in the C# native client that gives an error: PdxInstanceImpl is inaccessible due to its protection level
.
I've added the autoserializer and the results are the same.
Any idea what I am missing here? Thanks
