Thanks a lot for the reply, it is very helpful. My knowledge in networking/serialization is very limited, so please let me check a more complex example for serialize/deserialize in akka-remote: say I send a immutable List as the message. In more understanding, the List itself will use java serializer while the content of the List correspond to a class that uses my custom serializer. In this case, will the akka serialization/envelope mechanism be able to deserialize correctly so that in the serializer fromBinary callback the Array[Byte] always correspond to a whole object, no more no less?
