Walkthrough

This PR adds type-reporting methods to Elemental node classes, enhances instrumentation logging with SLF4J, removes version-based gating from instrumentation routing, modifies result conversion logic to handle JsonNode instances, and removes default type handling from unsupported value implementations.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Elemental Node Type Reporting ElementalArrayNode.java, ElementalBooleanNode.java, ElementalNullNode.java, ElementalNumberNode.java, ElementalObjectNode.java, ElementalStringNode.java	Added getType() override method to each node class returning the corresponding JsonType (ARRAY, BOOLEAN, NULL, NUMBER, OBJECT, STRING) with JsonType import additions.
Instrumentation Enhancement ClassInstrumentationUtil.java	Introduced SLF4J logging, marks generated classes as ACC_FINAL, logs method instrumentation events, and expands method access flags to include PRIVATE for handling private methods during instrumentation.
Instrumentation Routing InstrumentationViewInitializer.java	Removed Vaadin version gating; now unconditionally instruments navigation targets via JsonMigration.instrumentClass(...) regardless of version. Removed unused Version import.
Result Conversion Logic JsonMigrationHelper25.java	Modified convertToClientCallableResult() to treat null or JsonNode instances as passthrough, returning input directly instead of proceeding to type-checking logic.
Type Handling Removal UnsupportedJsonValueImpl.java	Removed getType() override method and associated JsonType import.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20–25 minutes

• Version gating removal in InstrumentationViewInitializer requires careful verification that unconditional instrumentation is appropriate and compatible with supported Vaadin versions
• JsonNode passthrough logic in JsonMigrationHelper25 needs validation that treating JsonNode as passthrough doesn't bypass necessary serialization or conversion
• Consistency check across six Elemental*Node files to ensure all getType() implementations follow the same pattern and correctly map to JsonType constants

src/main/java/com/flowingcode/vaadin/jsonmigration/ClassInstrumentationUtil.java (5)

45-46: Prefer a static logger field for this utility

ClassInstrumentationUtil is effectively stateless and instantiated per version; you can avoid per-instance loggers and follow common SLF4J practice by using a static field, e.g. private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(ClassInstrumentationUtil.class);, and then using LOGGER throughout.

Also applies to: 62-62

---

121-123: Consider lowering “no instrumentation needed” log to DEBUG

instrumentClass may be called frequently; logging every non‑instrumented class at INFO can clutter logs in larger apps. Consider DEBUG (or TRACE) for this message, possibly with class name instead of the Class object if you want a more compact output.

---

256-257: Marking generated subclasses as final may be a behavioral change

Adding Opcodes.ACC_FINAL means callers can no longer subclass the instrumented class. If any code previously extended these instrumented types (even if uncommon), this becomes a breaking change. Please confirm that instrumented classes are intended to be terminal implementation types; otherwise, consider dropping ACC_FINAL or documenting this constraint.

---

370-371: Per-method override logging at INFO could be noisy

logger.info("Override {}", method); will emit one INFO log per instrumented method. Since this runs during bytecode generation, it may be fine, but for applications with many callables it could get chatty. Consider DEBUG/TRACE here, or gating behind a dedicated flag, while maybe keeping a single INFO summary per class if needed.

---

377-379: Access mask now includes ACC_PRIVATE – confirm private callables use case

Including Opcodes.ACC_PRIVATE in the access mask means the generated method in the subclass will also be private when the original method is private, and your MethodHandle path will be used to reach the original implementation. This seems intended to support private @ClientCallable / @LegacyClientCallable methods, but it does slightly change visibility compared to a purely public/protected override strategy. Please double‑check this matches Vaadin’s expectations for callable discovery and doesn’t conflict with any upstream behavior you intend to mirror.

69-70: LGTM! JsonNode passthrough logic is correct.

The addition of instanceof JsonNode check allows ElementalNode instances (which extend Jackson JsonNode classes) to be returned directly, avoiding unnecessary conversion. This aligns well with the new getType() methods added to all ElementalNode classes in this PR.

src/main/java/com/flowingcode/vaadin/jsonmigration/InstrumentationViewInitializer.java (1)

56-56: LGTM! Good simplification by delegating version handling.

Removing the version check here is appropriate since JsonMigration.instrumentClass() already handles version detection internally, returning the original class for Vaadin 24 and earlier or an instrumented class for Vaadin 25+.

src/main/java/com/flowingcode/vaadin/jsonmigration/ElementalObjectNode.java (1)

55-58: LGTM! Type reporting implementation is correct.

The getType() override correctly returns JsonType.OBJECT, consistent with the pattern applied across all Elemental*Node classes in this PR.

src/main/java/com/flowingcode/vaadin/jsonmigration/ElementalStringNode.java (1)

32-35: LGTM! Type reporting implementation is correct.

The getType() override correctly returns JsonType.STRING, consistent with the pattern applied across all Elemental*Node classes.

src/main/java/com/flowingcode/vaadin/jsonmigration/ElementalNullNode.java (1)

37-40: LGTM! Type reporting implementation is correct.

The getType() override correctly returns JsonType.NULL, consistent with the pattern applied across all Elemental*Node classes.

src/main/java/com/flowingcode/vaadin/jsonmigration/ElementalNumberNode.java (1)

42-45: LGTM! Type reporting implementation is correct.

The getType() override correctly returns JsonType.NUMBER, consistent with the pattern applied across all Elemental*Node classes.

src/main/java/com/flowingcode/vaadin/jsonmigration/ElementalBooleanNode.java (1)

32-35: LGTM! Type reporting implementation is correct.

The getType() override correctly returns JsonType.BOOLEAN, consistent with the pattern applied across all Elemental*Node classes.

src/main/java/com/flowingcode/vaadin/jsonmigration/ElementalArrayNode.java (1)

53-56: LGTM! Type reporting implementation is correct.

The getType() override correctly returns JsonType.ARRAY, consistent with the pattern applied across all Elemental*Node classes.
