Class SerializationUtils

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--com.epicentric.common.SerializationUtils

Deprecated. as of version 4.5, to be removed in 8.0 or later. No replacement. This class was used extensively in earlier versions of the product in order to facilitate Object serialization; however, it is now generally considered poor practice to directly use object serialization in a portal environment. It is recommended to instead export the object in XML form or to use JDBC to persist the object to a database, whichever is more appropriate for the feature in question.
