System and method for managing an object cache

A server, comprising:

• an object cache;
• a serialization cache;
• and
• a deserialization module;
• for serialized objects that are not stored by a serialization cache, the deserialization module is configured to:
• store the serialized object in the serialization cache;
• and
• when one or more immutable objects are provided inline with one or more primitive objects in the serialized byte stream perform at least one of:
• store a first form of the serialized byte stream in the serialization cache in which the one or more immutable objects are inline with the one or more primitive objects;
• and
• store a second form of the serialized byte stream in the serialization cache in which the one or more immutable objects are cached separately from the one or more primitive objects.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform:

• when a serialization cache does not store one or more referenced objects, performing:
• storing a serialized byte stream for the one or more referenced objects in the serialization cache;
• and
• when one or more immutable objects are provided inline with one or more primitive objects in the serialized byte stream performing at least one of:
• storing a first form of the serialized byte stream in the serialization cache in which the one or more immutable objects are inline with the one or more primitive objects;
• and
• storing a second form of the serialized byte stream in the serialization cache in which the one or more immutable objects are cached separately from the one or more primitive objects.
