Does CI-Link allow to serialize objects (for instance in XML) ?
Yes, thanks to the DOA technology CI-Link allows to serialize any object located in memory in a binary or XML form. If an object possesses references to other objects, these other objects will then be serialized too. The serialization mechanism takes circular references into account, in which a same object can be referenced in several objects. When defining a class, it is possible to specify as persistent the properties which must be serialized. The notion of session uses this specificity to serialize session variables.
