Interface MessageAdapterSerialization

All Known Implementing Classes:

HttpMessageAdapter, JmsMessageAdapter, WriterMessageAdapter, XmppMessageAdapter

public interface MessageAdapterSerialization

Not all MessageAdapters can be serialized using the native Java serialization as their paylod is not Serializable. These message adapters can implement this interface to help with the serialization of the paylod: the raw bytes are persisted when the message adapter is serialized. Upon deserialization a DefaultMessageAdapter is created to hold this payload.
