Hmmmm, still baffled. I tried as you suggested and still can't seem to save the xml. Also, you said "they do save the data type of a complext...." Did you mean they do NOT save the type and when you read it back you just get type Object? I thought that's what I read in the user guide and that you need to use something called registerClassAlias if you want to store a type. I tried looking into this also and don't understand how to use this correctly. I'm starting to get frustrated.
