Hi Martin and Mariano,

    a couple of questions.  What's the right way to exclude certain objects from the serialization?  Is there a way of excluding certain inst vars from certain objects?



Eliot and the rest....Martin implemented this feature in Fuel-MartinDias.258. For the moment, we decided to put #fuelIgnoredInstanceVariableNames at class side.

Behavior >> fuelIgnoredInstanceVariableNames
    "Indicates which variables have to be ignored during serialization."

    ^#()


MyClass class >> fuelIgnoredInstanceVariableNames
  ^ #('instVar1')


The impact in speed is nothing, so this is good. Now....we were thinking if it is common to need that 2 different instances of the same class need different instVars to ignore. Is this common ? do you usually need this ?  We checked in SIXX and it is at instance side. Java uses the prefix 'transient' so it is at class side...

thanks

You can have variables on both instances and classes.
 I believe in SIXX you send #sixxIgnorableInstVarNames to the object you want to serialize.
IE. on class side you define ignorable class instance variables, while on instance side you define ignorable instance variables.

Cheers,
