Plug-ins for serializing cached objects

WebSphere® eXtreme Scale uses multiple Java processes to serialize the data, by converting the Java object instances to bytes and back to objects again, as needed, to move the data between client and server processes.

To serialize data in eXtreme Scale, you can use Java serialization, the ObjectTransformer plug-in, or the DataSerializer plug-ins.

The ObjectTransformer interface has been replaced by the DataSerializer plug-ins, which you can use to efficiently store arbitrary data in WebSphere eXtreme Scale so that existing product APIs can efficiently interact with your data.
