Interface ClassSelector

All Known Implementing Classes:

CertificateBasedClassSelector, NamePrefixedClassSelector, NullClassSelector

public interface ClassSelector

This interface is is used by MarshaledObject to select those classes, whose bytecode is to be marshaled together with the object itself.

When serializing objects, there is no universal rule which classes would be present and which not while de-serializing, one has to provide his/her own function.

Users are required to provide their own implementation algorithms for this. created on Aug 2, 2005
