Hi,

Yes, I can see why in this implementation it will not work.  However, what
about using the XMLEncoder instead of Serializable?  Using this method we
have both platform and class object independence.  That would solve it.

Primarily because Lucene controls the construction of Document  
instances returned from Hits.

You could ensure this by writing a wrapping method or class that  
creates Documents for you.

How would Lucene reconstruct the Document instance from Hits using  
your own implementation?
