Hi,

I am trying to write serializers and deserializers for my application specific data 
objects(there are some methods apart from the getter setter methods and the 
constructor). Can anyone let me know if I can find any sample code for the same on the 
web? If anyone has done this can you please post the code? 

Vandana.

Thanks for the info, Paul.  I actually did figure that out this morning 
through trial and error.  Being able to specify the makeup of the bean via 
BeanInfo looks to be a very nice way of solving several problems that I am 
having.  One problem in particular is that we have several classes that have 
'char's as properties, and axis seems to choke on those.  What I did to 
solve this is create an additional getter/setter pair for the char property 
that takes a String instead of a char, and converts back in forth between 
the char and the string.  Then I created a BeanInfo that says to use the 
String getter/setter rather than the char getter/setter for that attribute.  
Works very nicely.  (We could also just convert the char to string outright, 
but this saves us from having to change a lot of code that depends on the 
existing interface).

They use the reflection package. If you implement BeanInfo classes you
can control precisely what gets serialized/deserialized. Look in the
java.beans package for more info.
