I recently ran into a pretty surprising behavior in akka serialization -- if your parent class does *not* inherit from java.io.Serializable, akka will choose arbitrarily between the two! This "feature" is documented <http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/snapshot/scala/serialization.html> but it's pretty odd, and definitely not what I would expect as a user.
A much more reasonable behavior seems like it would be always picking a user defined serializer if appropriate and falling back on Serializable only if no user defined serializers match. It's very counterintuitive that to _disable_ the java serializers, you must inherit from them. The random choice behavior seems like the right thing to do if two user defined serializers both apply. Thoughts?
