Package com.hazelcast.nio.serialization

Interface SerializerHook<T>

Type Parameters:
T - the type of the serialized object
All Known Implementing Classes:
ProtobufSerializerHook
public interface SerializerHook<T>
This interface is used to automatically register serializers from external Hazelcast or user modules.

Both types of Serializers are supported: StreamSerializer and ByteArraySerializer. The serializers need to be registered using a file named "com.hazelcast.SerializerHook" in META-INF/services. Those services files are not registered using the standard Java 6+ ServiceLoader, but with a Hazelcast version that is capable of working with multiple class loaders to support JEE and OSGi environments.
