Well I hadn't tried it, but it turns out it doesn't work. Apparently the xml serialization process differs in that aspect from the "binary" serialization.

In a classic serializable object, writing "transcient" before any field name allows to hide it to the serialization process. -----Original Message----- From: "Maurice Marrink" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2004 16:43:05 +0200 Subject: serialize only certain fields of bean > Hi, > > I have a number of beans I want to serialize to a soap message.
