Package com.exedio.cope.pattern

Class Serializer<E>

java.lang.Object

com.exedio.cope.Feature

com.exedio.cope.Pattern

com.exedio.cope.pattern.Serializer<E>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Settable<E>, Serializable

public final class Serializer<E>
extends Pattern
implements Settable<E>

Stores a java object by serialization - use with care!

Stores serializable objects into a backing DataField. BEWARE: Generally this is not a good idea. In contrast to normal fields, such as StringField, DateField, etc. there is no searching, order by or caching. The main purpose is to maintain database compatibility to legacy systems.

Class<?>	getInitialType()
DataField	getSource()
boolean	isFinal()	Returns true, if a value for the settable can be specified on the creation of an item only, thus cannot be modified later.
