SIXBSSerializable	Marks an object as SIXBS-serializable, with special rules.

Class Summary

AbstractAdapter	Abstract convenience superclass
AdapterFinder	Searches for Adapater classes.
Null	Null object.
ObjectIdentifier	Provides unique IDs for Objects.
Reference	References an object that has already been written to XML.
SIXBSReader	DeSerializes beans from XML.
SIXBSWriter	Serializes beans to XML.
State	Represents a state and its context.

Package com.tagtraum.sixbs Description

sixbs is a little library capable of writing beans to XML using their public properties. sixbs stands for "Simple XML Bean Serialization".

Each property that has a getter and a setter method is used in the serialization process. Some classes are serialized as literals. These are all primitives and their corresponding classes, String and URL. This list might grow in the future. All other classes are asked for their properties and these are written to XML. Only classes that have a no arg constructor may be serialized this way.

If you need to serialize a class that does not have a default constructor you need to write a Adapter. Some prewritten Adapters can be found in the com.tagtraum.sixbs.adapters package and its subpackages.

If you want to serialize only some of the properties of an object you may implement the SIXBSSerializable interface.
