Serialize a java.awt.geom.Area

Question

I have the need to serialize an Area object (java.awt.geom.Area) in a socket. However it doesn\'t seem to be serializable. Is there a way to do such thing? Maybe by converti

Answer 1

Use XStream to trivially convert it to/from XML. You don't need your object to implement particular interfaces, and the serialisation is customisable.
