Hi folks,
Thanks for all your suggestions so far. I don't think any of those i've
received so far will be the most appropriate for my project, but i did
find this on the rhug site:
	http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/digester/
This seems to be an appropriate mechanism for reading in objects. Has
anyone on the list used it with GCJ? If so, can you comment on its
suitability given my above criteria? Also, what would be the equivalent
facility for writing objects as XML?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
