I think the definitive answer is: - generated Java classes are serializable and the serialization format is XML, so that when you deserialize it you can go to parent, to DOM etc, and the behavior will be exactly the same as on the original instance (except for classoading-related things, of course)
- the DOM implementation is currently not serializable, I don't really know what the reason for that is.

My particular case is this: I have my own Serializable classes which contain member variables that are DOM Objects obtained from XMLBeans objects. The Document implementation from XMLBeans is not serializable, so I am unable to serialize my class. My thought at this point is that I will need to muck about with writeObject/readObject on my own class to serialize the DOM Document to plain XML Strings and back. (This is all with 2.0.0, by the way) Any ideas? -jason --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
