If there is private state in the class that you want to serialize, your class itself would have to implement the Serializer interface (since that would be the only way to get to the private state). If there is state that cannot be set publicly, you would similarly have to implement the deserializer interface in the class.

I was able to do it using the BeanSerializer class. However, I was forced to change my complex class into a Bean to use it. Now that I've demonstrated to myself that it can be sent as a Bean, I really need to get it back to it's original non-bean form. To do this I realize that I need to write a custom (de)serializer. I've looked at the ones in the AddressBook2 samples, but they use classes that have all their member fields as being public. How can I do it if the fields are all PRIVATE, and there aren't accessor/mutator methods for each of the fields?
