Jira issue originally created by user tech13:

In the note in
http://www.doctrine-project.org/docs/orm/2.0/en/reference/working-with-objects.html#merging-entities
It appears to state that private variables are not serialized for child objects

If this is the only reason entities can't have private properties, then this restriction is no longer valid, or possibly be reconsidered.

<?php

class A {
    private $a = null;

    public function setValue($value) {
        $this->a = $value;
    }
}

class B extends A {}

$b = new B();
$b->setValue("B");
var_dump($b);

$c = unserialize(serialize($b));
var_dump($c);

The output suggests private variables are serialized, and are restored fine
