org.axonframework.boot.SerializerProperties

@ConfigurationProperties(value="axon.serializer")
public class SerializerProperties
extends Object

A group of properties that allows easy configuration of the serializers used for different types of objects that Axon needs to serialize.

The Event serializer, if specified, is used to serialize the payload and meta-data of EventMessages as they are stored in the event store and published. If no Event Serializer is specified, it defaults to the Message Serializer.

The Message Serializer is used to serialize the payload and meta-data of all messages and, where relevant, their return values. Commands, Queries and Events, but also the Command Result and Query Responses are serialized using this serializer. If no Message Serializer is specified, it defaults to the General Serializer.

The General Serializer is used to serialize the rest of the objects, such as TrackingTokens, Saga state, Snapshot Events and all other data that needs to be serialized, but is not expected to be shared with other systems. If no General Serializer is specified, it defaults to an XStream based serializer (see XStreamSerializer).
