A serialized mapping of a Ref object, which is the mapping in the
Java programming language of an SQL REF value.


The SerialRef class provides a constructor  for
creating a SerialRef instance from a Ref
object and provides methods for getting and setting the Ref object.

 Thread safety 

A SerialRef is not safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.  If a
SerialRef is to be used by more than one thread then access to the SerialRef
should be controlled by appropriate synchronization.

Since:1.5
