Re: Serialization

2002-03-12 Thread Keiron Liddle
Hi Peter, An inner class is actually a separate class that contains a reference to the containing class. When the class is serialized it will serialize that reference (since I presume it is not transient). If the class is static then it will not have a rreference to the containing class but th

That sounds like a good suggestion. To start with I think we should consider only this: FOP behaves exactly the same but instead of having its own pdf generation code then iText is used as a library to generate pdf. So the questions are: - is the license useable - is the api sufficient for FOP
