Would this be fixed by #3727 ?

[kamilkloch]

I would not know, we will see once it is merged. Hopefully soon.

[alxdsz]

same happens for go client

[kamilkloch]

Quite a bit disappointing lack of follow-up on the broken kratos clients from the ory team.

[aeneasr]

Hi, se appreciate help in fixing this as we lack Java experts and use an automated generator for this. Maybe upgrading the generator can already fix this!

[aeneasr]

ps: For the Go client we have identified a fix

[aeneasr]

And @kamilkloch we are actively working on this problem as you can see with several PRs and merges. So not sure what exactly you find disappointing but let's look at the facts.

[kamilkloch]

Are there perhaps any estimates on the patch release, or do you advise to generate the client from the sources?

[WoodyWoodsta]

Hey @aeneasr - is there anything we can do to help move the Java client fix along? I commented here asking for visibility on where the PRs are which are being worked on, but got no response.

I'm not a Java person, but if there is something I can do to help I'd spend some time on it as our team is severely blocked by the inop Java SDK.

EDIT: And some visibility on what the Ory team is currently looking at/not looking at would help me focus effort.

[kamilkloch]

Is there any ETA of the fix?

[WoodyWoodsta]

I was actually looking into it this morning, and I'm trying to understand why in ory/sdk#344 useOneOfDiscriminatorLookup is enabled to fix the Go SDK (#3807 (comment)) but not included in the Java config. I feel as though this should fix the issue but without direction from @aeneasr it's difficult to know whether this has been tried or not.

Similarly, I would be interested to know why in ory/sdk@c2fbcd5 the Java openapi-generator was downgraded from 7.4.0 to 7.3.0.

I will try to generate the SDK myself and see if the discriminator config makes a difference.

[WoodyWoodsta]

So it appears to work for me by setting useOneOfDiscriminatorLookup. I'll open a PR in the sdk repo.
