Spring bean creation via deserialization?

Never heard of one, and frankly I wouldn't want my initialization to be controlled by opaque (to mere humans) serialized objects.

Yes you can implement your own Beanfactory like done for SimpleJndiBeanFactory. But I am not sure, that is what you want. You need additional beans on a application context.

I would implement a BeanFactoryPostProcessor loading the beans from the stream and autowire or register them.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
