Class JavaSerializationConverter

java.lang.Object

org.apache.polygene.api.serialization.JavaSerializationConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Converter<Object>

public class JavaSerializationConverter
extends Object
implements Converter<Object>

A Converter based on Java Serialization. Note that this Converter works with String representations. The serialized payload is encoded using Base64. This is suitable for text based formats, if you are using a binary format, see the serialization extension. Prefer using it with the ConvertedBy annotation. If you register it as a serialization converter, it will catch all types. Or you could extend it and override type().
