[Zope-CVS] CVS: Products/AdaptableStorage/mapper/interfaces - IObjectSerializer.py:1.4

[Shane Hathaway]

Update of /cvs-repository/Products/AdaptableStorage/mapper/interfaces
In directory cvs.zope.org:/tmp/cvs-serv5192/mapper/interfaces

Modified Files:
	IObjectSerializer.py 
Log Message:
- Fixed storage and loading of ZClass instances.
IObjectSerializer.createEmptyInstance() now accepts an optional
class_loader.  ASConnection provides a class loader that can load
ZClasses.

- Simplified configuration of mappers using "base" mappers.  Derived
mappers and gateways start with the configuration of the base mapper.

- Enhanced the configurability of ObjectGateways and
ObjectSerializers: there are now removeGateway() and removeAspect()
methods.
