Method Detail

getInternalProtocol

public SerializationProtocol getInternalProtocol()

Description copied from interface: ObjectSerializer

Provides access to the serialization protocol used for internal consumption, that is, when objects are serialized on the container to reuse them later inside the container.

Internal serialization uses a custom serialization protocol intended to overcome the limitations imposed by the classloading isolation. This custom protocol requires of the artifact classloader structure defined at runtime in order to deserialize objects.

Specified by:

getInternalProtocol in interface ObjectSerializer

Returns:

the internal serialization protocol

getExternalProtocol

public SerializationProtocol getExternalProtocol()

Description copied from interface: ObjectSerializer

Provides access to the serialization protocol used for external consumption, that is, when objects are serialized on the container to be consumed later outside the container.

External serialization does not requires knowledge about the artifact classloader structure at runtime. Every serialized object's class is assumed to be available on the consumer side.

Specified by:

getExternalProtocol in interface ObjectSerializer

Returns:

the external serialization protocol

setMuleContext

public void setMuleContext(MuleContext context)

Specified by:

setMuleContext in interface MuleContextAware

Parameters:

context - the Mule node.
