Hi, No, you should not have to do any serialization of your own if you are using objects that are beans. Nirmal. "Janesh Vasudeva" <jvasudeva@asapsolu To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> tions.com> cc: Subject: Query 06/23/2001 06:13 AM Please respond to soap-user When we have BeanSerializer to serialize objects , why do we require to create DataSerializer class containing marshall and unmarshall methods . Is there any reasons for doing it? Thanks Janesh
