[Springframework-developer] Serialization of AOP proxies

[Rod J. <rod...@in...>]

AOP users,

I've just committed a feature that has been requested several times:
serializability of AOP proxies.

AOP proxies are now serializable if they're:

- JDK dynamic proxies
- all Advisors (meaning Pointcut + Advice) are serializable
- TargetSource is serializable (normally only the target matters)

I've made some framework classes Serializable such as Pointcut.TRUE and
DefaultPointcutAdvisor, but the onus is on the developer to mark as
serializable an Advice/Pointcut that may be serialized.

This will be released in 1.1 RC1.

We will also consider serializability for CGLIB proxies.
