public static interface Node.Handle
extends Serializable

Serializable node reference. The node should not be serialized directly but via this handle. One can obtain a handle by a call to Node.getHandle().

If that methods returns a non-null value, one can serialize it, and after deserialization use Node.Handle.getNode() to obtain the original node.
