public interface WLSerializable

extends java.io.Serializable

This interface provides user access to WebLogic's serialization. User-written classes that need to be marshalled between the WebLogic Server and T3Clients should implement either this interface or java.io.Serializable.

Implementing this interface requires that the programmer hand-write a readObject() and writeObject() method, which can lead to higher performance than regular java.io serialization.

The WLObjectInput and WLObjectOutput interfaces used as arguments for methods in this interface define the set of methods available for reading and writing data from and to the streams which will be used between the WebLogic Server and T3Client.
