Stef,

Dolphin's solution is to use proxies. �Rather than serializing the class itself, one might prefer to serialize a proxy that knows enough to find the appropriate object once it "wakes up" in the new image. �In the case of a class, it should be enough to know the name, so the proxy would have that one aspect and it would resolve itself by looking for it in the system dictionary. �There is a little more to it, but that is the basic idea.

ReferenceStream does the same, and te proxy is called DiskProxy.� This may work sometimes, but others, it doesn't.
For example, in my case, I need to REALLY serialize a class, becase I need to load it in another image where such class is not even present.

Subject: [Pharo-project] serializing a class

Hi

I would like to do a little experiment.
I need to save a class (not the instances) in a binary format and I was wondering if somebody got experience with that.
