Please note, the XMLDBTransformer does the same (it stores data in the XML:DB database, but that's the only difference). This way you can process the output of the transformer (XMLDBTransformers outputs a tag with success/failure and a generated key) by another transformer to transform it to HTML. With the serializer approach this is not possible.
If you want to write a FileWriterTransformer or something you can get ideas from the XMLDBTransformer.
