[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBCACHE-815) Eliminate need for jboss-serialization.jar if it's not used

Manik Surtani commented on JBCACHE-815:
---------------------------------------

Hmm, not so simple, I'm afraid.

ObjectSerializationFactory uses an inner class, which is a subclass of JBossObjectInputStreamSharedTree from org.jboss.serial.io.  And it is this subclass that I return when using JBoss Serialization, as I override it's read() method with the ability to switch context classloaders.

Until Clebert provides this in JBoss Serialization and I can do away with my subclass, I don't see how we can remove the jar - reflections good but not THAT good!  ;)

> If we're going to stick making use of JBoss serialization a configurable option, we should refactor ObjectSerializationFactory so no jboss-serialization classes are loaded if it's not used. Allows users to drop one more jar from their footprint.
