> Currently, WildFly uses JBoss Marshalling to marshal user objects (session attributes, SFSB instances) for the purposes of replication and persistence.
> Protostream (developed by the Infinispan team) offers several advantages over JBoss Marshalling.
> * Lower memory footprint (marshalling schemas are built during compilation time)
> * Faster marshalling - as it does not rely on reflection
> * Produces generally smaller replication payloads (see https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1f6FlXqxX7dYm44naHZfqLc5TjqlmscIdGyyfmt5I3f4/edit?usp=sharing )
> * Resolves security concerns due to JBM's reliance on reflection and Java serialization inherently permitting arbitrary execution of rogue code
> * JBoss Marshalling is effectively in maintenance mode
> We can either auto-detect the intended marshaller by looking for requisite SerializationContextInitializers in the deployment classpath, and/or use an explicit configuration attribute.
