One approach that does work quite nicely is that of JSX [1], which allows Java serialization of objects (instances) to XML in a line or so of code. Interesting, it seems there has been a big takeup of this tool by people wishing to maintain configuration information between different versions of an app. As XML it's relatively simple to modify data saved from version x to allow loading into version x++, something that can't be done with Java's own serialization. It's also worth noting that the objects persisted in this fashion can be passed to non-Java systems. Cheeers, Danny. [1] http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~bren/JSX/
