one problem will be that if you are running invm tomcat/jboss and your proxy materialization happens AFTER the transaction is over, you'll need a mechanism to know that the tx is over, because you were never serialized.
I've thought a lot about this problem, and started to implement the persistencebrokerbean to solve it, then got sidetracked. m -----Original Message----- From: Phil Warrick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 11:41 AM To: OJB Users List Subject: Re: RMI and Proxied collections and references Thomas Mahler wrote: >> I think this problem could be resolved by providing a configuration >> option that would turn-on proxy materializing triggered by >> serialization of persistent classes.

I do this when I want to ensure that certain proxies (or transient objects) are materialized during serialization or deserialization. I too do not use c/s (I do use ejb with jboss) and I want the flexibility to choose how heavy my serialized object is under different conditions. I'm interested to see where this all leads...
