serializer
Used in: <user-type>
Description
The serializer element specifies what PofSerializer to use to serialize and deserialize a specific user type.
A PofSerializer is used to serialize and deserialize user type values to and from a POF stream. Within the serializer element, the class-name element is required, and zero or more constructor parameters can be defined within an init-params element.
If the serializer element is omitted, then the user type is assumed to implement the PortableObject interface, and the PortableObjectSerializer implementation is used as the PofSerializer.
If the init-params element is omitted from the serializer element, then the following four constructors are attempted on the specific PofSerializer implementation, and in this order:
- (int nTypeId, Class clz, ClassLoader loader)
- (int nTypeId, Class clz)
- (int nTypeId)
- ()
