SerializationCustomSerializer

interface SerializationCustomSerializer<OBJ, PROXY>

Allows CorDapps to provide custom serializers for third party libraries where those libraries cannot be recompiled with the -parameters flag rendering their classes natively serializable by Corda. In this case a proxy serializer can be written that extends this type whose purpose is to move between those an unserializable types and an intermediate representation.

NOTE: The proxy object should be specified as a separate class. However, this can be defined within the scope of the custom serializer.

Functions

fromProxy

abstract fun fromProxy(proxy: PROXY): OBJ

Should facilitate the conversion of the proxy object into a new instance of the unserializable type

toProxy

abstract fun toProxy(obj: OBJ): PROXY

Should facilitate the conversion of the third party object into the serializable local class specified by PROXY

Extension Functions

contextLogger

fun Any.contextLogger(): <ERROR CLASS>

When called from a companion object, returns the logger for the enclosing class.
