/**
 * A concrete <code>EntryBinding</code> that treats a key or data entry as
 * a serialized object.
 *
 * <p>This binding stores objects in serialized object format.  The
 * deserialized objects are returned by the binding, and their
 * <code>Class</code> must implement the <code>Serializable</code>
 * interface.</p>
 *
 * <p>For key bindings, a tuple binding is usually a better choice than a
 * serial binding.  A tuple binding gives a reasonable sort order, and works
 * with comparators in all cases -- see below.</p>
 *
 * <p><em>WARNING:</em> SerialBinding should not be used with Berkeley DB Java
 * Edition for key bindings, when a custom comparator is used.  In JE,
 * comparators are instantiated and called internally at times when databases
 * are not accessible.  Because serial bindings depend on the class catalog
 * database, a serial binding cannot be used during these times.  An attempt
 * to use a serial binding with a custom comparator will result in a
 * NullPointerException during environment open or close.</p>
