PailStructure passed to Pail.create is not used in the output stream

[kul]

I have a slightly modified implementation of PailStructure where i store some state (say myvar) in the Implemented Object which is used for Ser/De.

So my code looks something like
pail = Pail.create(path,new MyPailStructure(myvar))
os = pail.openWrite
os.writeObject(o)

But the problem is that this throws exception because myvar is null. I would like to ask what is the use of passing a MyPailStructure instance here if the internal api create its own instance?

Can i workaround this?

Thanks

Looking at this #17 it seems like parameters should ideally be serialized into pail.meta. But opening pail.meta shows just classname. "myvar" in above code is a String and should be serializable. What am i doing wrong here?

Edit: seems like the pull request is pending.

Seems like out of 5, 3 pull requests are to work around this, #17 #33 #36. I will close this as duplicate but would be nice to hear what repo owners plan to do.

Thanks
