[hibernate-dev] [OGM] When is AssociationKey serialized?

[Gunnar Morling]

Hi,

I'm wondering why org.hibernate.ogm.grid.AssociationKey implements
Serializable. When is it actually serialized?

I'm suspecting the answer is "never", as the type of the "metadata" member
is not serializable, so I'd expect a NotSerializableException to be raised.

If so, does anything speak against making AssociationKey not implement
Serializable?

Thanks,
