[Biojava-dev] Serialization problem

[Antoine Logean]

Hi Andreas,

Thanks a lot for your very fast answer. It is exactly what I needed.

May be I can explain you what I intend to do. The aim of my work is to 
challenge the performance of a framework/middleware called GigaSpaces 
(http://www.gigaspaces.com). They provide an implementation of the 
JavaSpace specification (see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuple_space#JavaSpaces). In few words you 
can see the space as a shared memory where you can write, read and take 
POJOs. The space can be defined as persistent and asynchronously 
mirrored in a RDBS via Hibernate. The main idea is to avoid the 
bottleneck associated with DB accesses and to have all the data and 
processes in the same JVM. They call this in memory data grid 
(http://www.gigaspaces.com/wiki/display/OLH/GigaSpaces+for+Hibernate+ORM+Users 
). Of course, as for RMI parameters, the objects have to be serializable 
in order to be written in the space !

I let you know of my progresses.

Regards,

Antoine
