  net.sf.ehcache.MimeTypeByteArray

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class MimeTypeByteArray
extends Object
implements Serializable

This class provides the means to bypass Java's serialization mechanism to as to store anything that can be turned into bytes. It opens the way to non Java uses of ehcache.
