Interface AlwaysSerialized

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public interface AlwaysSerialized
extends java.io.Serializable

AlwaysSerialized is a marker interface similar to java.io.Serializable. The engine stores variables using persistence rules as described completely in the Flux documentation. When storing a persistent variable that must always be serialized, even if it has public fields with recognized types, tag that class by implementing the AlwaysSerialized interface. All persistent variables that implement AlwaysSerialized are indeed always serialized to the database.

In general, it is bad form to serialize job data to the database, due to a variety of technical reasons. However, sometimes it cannot be avoided.
