Bug #88613
Updated by Oliver Hader almost 5 years ago
For regular ObjectStorage deserialization most probably would work - however there are inconsitencies concerning object integrity due to ObjectStorage using spl_object_hash() internally. In a result it would not be possible to detach an object retrieved from repository from some deserialized ObjectStorage - basically uid should be used as identifier here which would turn ObjectStorage into EntityStorage. So, we could live with serialization of ObjectStorage.
For LazyObjectStorage things are getting more difficult since serialization of it would mean to serialize backreferences to parent object as well as DataMapper state, ObjectManager state and in the end class Reflection state - that turns out to be a massive collection of serialized data.
Thus, we experience most pain with LazyObjectStorage and its current implementation.
