Serialize all subclasses automatically?

Is there an easy way to serialize all the classes that my class uses. Eg I use Cipher in my class CA but how do I make Cipher implement Serializable?

You cannot. You will have to replace the Cipher during serialization and recreate it upon deserialization.

ok, only objects that are serializable can be added to the rmiregistry right? That means that If would like to make a class that uses Cipher I cannot add it to the rmiregistry since I cannot serialize Cipher.

This I don't know about. I know they must be Remote, but you could be right.

You will have to take care to customize your (de)serialization for your class. Read more in the java.io.Serializable javadoc.

No, only classes that implement Remote. Serialization has nothing to do with it. I think there is some confusion here. The RMI Registry is a naming service for exported RMI objects. Serialization is used to transport arguments and results between exported RMI objects.
