ISharedObjectManager getSharedObjectManager()

Get SharedObjectManager for this container

Returns:

ISharedObjectManager for this container instance

setSharedObjectMessageSerializer

void setSharedObjectMessageSerializer(ISharedObjectMessageSerializer serializer)

Set the shared object message serializer. The serializer should not be null.

Note that users of this method should guarantee that their are not pending messages to be sent/received...typically by only calling this method prior to connecting/being connected to from remote containers.

Note also that the serializer must perform well when it's methods are called, to prevent negatively impacting overall container messaging performance.
