Hi, everyone!

I'm trying to provide my application with mechanism to cache some classes. One important requirement is that instances of these classes should survive JVM restart, so I use cache with disk persistence.

I'm relying on standart Java Serialization. I have explicit serialVersionUID, which I'm planning to update when structure of the class changes.

The problem is that with current behaviour, when I change serialVersionUID and restore cache from disk, Infinispan simply initialize new fields with nulls.

Can I change this behaviour? Can I force Infinispan to skip loading instances of the class to cache, if serialVersionUID does not match?

Is desirable behaviour achieveable without creating custom Externalizer?

Thanks in advance!

I use Infinispan 6.0.0.Final and JDK 1.7_45
