Hi,

Codegen does create UaNode based classes and MyBigNodeManager is a sample for situations where you might not have memory for UaNode model, therefore I would say these 2 are not mutually compatible. Also I suppose I should mention that the MyBigNodeManager sample is from the era before we had a codegen.

Also the codegen classes expect to get UaNodes for subcomponents, i.e. the generated code operates on the node model.

I would say situation where you have enough memory for the UaNodes but not for the values is rare, so I would assume the duplication is the main problem here.

Unfortunately there is not any out-of-the-box-easy-to-use options currently for this.

For the top-level-node the data has to be in the node OR handled with custom IoManager(Listener) (NOTE! this does not link to the UaNode used in the server side)

For components of the top-level-node, as long as they are Properties, you could use a NodeBuilderConfiguration and set InstantiationStrategy that provides the values via callback method (e.g. CallbackInstancePropertyInstantiationStrategy). These should work from the server side generated nodes. This works as all generated code operates on UaProperty for Properties. However the generated getXXXNode methods do return other generated nodes for non-Property components. I would note that this is a bit experimental at the moment and used mainly for few SDK internal functionalities.

I see how this could be implemented better in the future, but not sure when.
