Juan Hernandez has submitted this change and it was merged. Change subject: codegen: Sort and remember header parameters ...................................................................... codegen: Sort and remember header parameters Currently the order of parameters corresponding to headers in generated code is the same that the order of those parameters in the RSDL metadata. This means that adding new parameters or reordering them in the RSDL metadata produces the same reordering in the parameters of the methods of the generated code. For example, one of the methods to add a cluster has currently the following signature: Cluster add(Cluster cluster, String expect, String correlationId) The order is "expect" and then "correlation-id" because that is the order in the RSDL. If the RSDL changes in such a way that the parameters have a different order (because a new parameter is added, or just because the RSDL is generated with a different algorithm) then the method could become something like this: Cluster add(Cluster cluster, String correlationId, String expect) This is extremelly dangerous, as it it is swapping the parameters but it will compile just fine. To avoid this issue this patch changes the generator so that the parameters are always sorted by name before generating the code. This is not enough, as it doesn't solve the issue when new parameters are added. To solve that as well this patch introduces a "memory" (stored in a properties file) where the generator remembers what was the order of the previous execution. That order will be respected regardless of changes in the RSDL.
