Is it possible to use FST to customise the default serialization of a java object

[ghoshtir]

I was wondering if for a java object I can override the readObject/writeObject to use FST or to implement Externalizable and override the readExternal/writeExtenal to use FST.

I am using a framework where I dont have much handle on the serialization/deserialization unless I play around with the above methods of the java objects. Thats why wanted to know if I can still use FST or not.

You can use Externalizable.

You can also use custom serialisation overrides but only with some configurations (in particular it didn't work for me using the JSON configuration and I had to switch to using Externalizable instead).
