# Indirection, Serialization, and Detachment

Previous

Next

When using indirection, it is likely that a graph of persistent objects will contain untriggered indirection objects. Because indirection objects are transient and do not survive serialization between one JVM and another, untriggered indirection objects may appear as null values at deserialization time. This section describes how to address this depending on the EJB version and application server you are using.
