[ome-devel] OMERO 5 server and client match problem

[Jianguo Rao]

Dear Roger,

Many thanks for your reply which makes a lot of sense and the reasons  
coincident with what I suspected. Something relevant to matching  
between server and client, changed in the current resource, most  
probably the OMERO model itself, as you said the ice3 and ice4  
interface should not affect match. One possibility, I can imaging, is  
the OMERO model itself has been changed from the v.5.0.0-beta1 to the  
current resources ( Mine is just the resource directly cloned from  
github a few days ago.)

Your help is highly appreciated.

BR,

Jianguo
