Both methods provide a place to get custom serializer/deserializer. In both cases the Base(De)SerializerFactory looks for these methods to get the serializer /deserializer.

So, I get how getSerializer() might work - you've got a Class you're serializing, so you can just use that instead of going to the TypeMapping. I don't understand getDeserializer, though - when could/would that get used? --Glen > -----Original Message----- > From: R J Scheuerle Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 1:15 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: getSerializer/getDeserilizer methods in the Bean > > > Some cool changes I am working on. > > I am adding getSerializer/getDeserializer methods in the java bean (or > _Helper). > > These methods construct the corresponding > serializer/deserializer (passing > in the TypeDesc meta data). > > This change prevents unnecessary introspection and gives > users a place to > hang their own custom serializer/deserializer. > > I also made some cosmetic changes to make it easier to extend > some of these > classes. > > Rich Scheuerle > XML & Web Services Development > 512-838-5115 (IBM TL 678-5115) >
