java.lang.Object
  java.lang.ThreadLocal
      org.codehaus.aspectwerkz.util.SerializableThreadLocal

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class SerializableThreadLocal

extends java.lang.ThreadLocal

implements java.io.Serializable

Extends the java.lang.ThreadLocal to be able to add additional functionality.

This classes enhances the base implementation by:

making it serializable

making it wrap an unwrap the values in a java.lang.ref.WeakReference to avoid potential memory leaks
