Customizing ActionScript - Java serialization?

Question

Hi,
I wonder how to customize what ActionScript class is serialized to what Java object, overriding BlazeDS's defaults.
I have a Java class where I would like an ActionScript ArrayCollection to serialize to a custom class.
To illustrate, normally I might have a class on the server like this:
public MyClass {
public void updateRecords(java.util.List[Widget]) {...}
When this is invoked from a remote Flex client, passing an ArrayCollection as the method parameter, BlazeDS serializes that ArrayCollection into a Java List, and everything works fine.
Suppose, however, that I have the above method signature defined in the following way:
public MyClass {
public void updateRecords(MyCustomCollection[Widget]) {... }
In that situation, I'd like to be able to specify a custom serializer that takes an ActionScript ArrayCollection and serializes it into MyCustomCollection. In fact, what I'd really like to do is to use this serializer every time a Java class' interface contains MyCustomCollection.
I looked into flex.messaging.io.TypeMarshaller, but couldn't quite figure out how to use it for that purpose. 
Thanks,
-- Frank

How Java Serialization works internally which algorithm it uses to serialize/deserailaize the objects?

And are you aware that you have never marked a single one of your 119 previous questions as answered?
Total Questions: 119 (119 unresolved)
Are all of those questions really unanswered? Or have you just forgotten to mark them ANSWERED.
Please begin revisiting your large number of previous posts and marking them ANSWERED as appropriate. This is important for several reasons. First because forum volunteers need to focus on unanswered questions - it wastes their time to read thru threads and respond to posts that have actually already been answered since the original poster isn't even going to pay attention to any new replies. That time could have been better spent helping users that have REAL unanswered questions on the forum.
Second, when someone like yourself has large numbers of unanswered questions it basically sends a signal to the volunteers that the person posting the question may not even be reading or responding to the replies the volunteers may make. This leads some volunteers to decide to not even bother responding - why should they spend their time trying to help someone who won't even acknowledge the help that they get?
Third, other people that have the same problem you had find your posts but never see them answered. So they never know if the information provided by the volunteers solved your problem or not. When you mark your questions answered it helps others with the same problem.
Thanks.
