[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBCACHE-1233) Use XStream to serialize user classes as an option, to allow for replication between different versions of the app

[Manik Surtani (JIRA)]

    [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE-1233?page=comments#action_12417253 ] 
            
Manik Surtani commented on JBCACHE-1233:
----------------------------------------

This would be an alternate CacheMarshaller that uses XStream.  More likely, a subclass of the standard cache marshallers, that would use the current magic number marshalling approach for internal classes, but XStream for user data.

> Deserialization failures (class definitions being changed) could be handled by re-playing the call, this time serializing using XStream which is more resilient to class definition changes. Perhaps a cfg option when the user is aware that class definitions have changed?
