Remarks

Allows registering special TypeHandlers for customized marshalling and customized comparisons.
This is only for adventurous people, since type handlers work a the lowest levels:
  • There is no versioning support: If you need to change the serialisation scheme of the type your are on your own.
  • The typehandler-API is mostly undocumented and not as stable as other db4o APIs.
  • Elaborate type handlers need deep knowledge of undocumented, internal implementation details of db4o.
  • Mistakes in typehandlers can lead to cryptic error messages and database corruption.
