Adrian, You have a few options, I think. If you're using JDK 1.4, you could try the new XML serialization for Java beans technology that's part of that release. Check out:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/beans/XMLEncoder.html and related classes. Using that technology, you're not really "searilizing" the object in the traditional sense, but are using an XML format for the object state. There are also third party technologies for doing XML serialization such as: http://www.wutka.com/jox.html (I'm sure you can find others). Once you have the XML data, just add it to the message in an <x> field. Otherwise, if you need to do normal serialization, I'd recommend doing something like text encoding the serialization output stream and attaching that as a huge chunk of text data to a jabber message. I'm fairly certain there are utility classes that you can use to do this as part of Javamail.
