Am I able to use the XMLEncoder to serialize a list of data objects. I
can see the XMLDecoder has a decodeList method, however the XMLEncoder
does not appear to have a public encodeList method?
Some while ago we wrote a backup and restore feature into our tool:
http://somap.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/somap/sobf_tool/src/org/somap/sobf/database/backuprestore/
Please have a look at Backup.java and Restore.java.
Basically we filled a ZIP file. This file contained a Manifest file
which contained the names of the tables stored in that specific zip
archive. Every table was written as a separate XML file which was stored
in the same zip file.
Nice solution.
Ever thought about making it generic, so that other users can simply use
it and have backup/restore for their Cayenne based apps by just calling
your code?
