Serialization is seriously flawed in Java, the probability of writing
malfunctioning code using serialization is way too easy. There are two
"bug" reports that Sun states are not bugs yet dozens of comments saying
this is not the expected behavior (by the average programmer).
Java really has missed the boat for easy data storage. I really miss
the good old Modula 2 days when I could just write "readRecord()" and
"writeRecord()" to read and write complex data structures.
