Package com.ibm.wsspi.kernel.service.utils

Class SerializableProtectedString

java.lang.Object

com.ibm.wsspi.kernel.service.utils.SerializableProtectedString

All Implemented Interfaces:

com.ibm.websphere.ras.Traceable, com.ibm.ws.ffdc.FFDCSelfIntrospectable, Serializable

public final class SerializableProtectedString
extends Object
implements Serializable, com.ibm.websphere.ras.Traceable, com.ibm.ws.ffdc.FFDCSelfIntrospectable

This class wraps an instance of ProtectedString. The behavior is the same as that of ProtectedString except that it can be serialized. This means that the value will be hidden from trace and FFDC, but will be persisted in the local config cache.
