Re: [Springframework-developer] Re-injecting transient references upon deserialization...

[Eugene K. <eu...@pl...>]

Bob,

   You probably won't want to use something like that. But with 
Terracotta for Sessions product you can put non-serializable objects 
into session. Version for Tomcat is free for up to 4 nodes. See 
http://www.terracottatech.com/

   Otherwise, using AOP to inject dependencies on deserialization. This 
will be quite similar to @Configurable added in Spring 2.0. Would 
require an AspectJ though...

   regards,
   Eugene
