BlackboardEntrySerializer

interface BlackboardEntrySerializer

Extension point for application-specific blackboard persistence.

Implementations can store values as DTOs, encrypted payloads, entity references, or any other representation that can be safely restored later.

Implementations are expected to be stateless and safe for concurrent use. They should serialize value state, not live runtime resources such as Spring beans, open streams, sockets, threads, or ORM sessions.
