Hi David,
I had the same problem when I tried to store OMGraphic created in
DrawingTool into file on disk. (User wanted to store his drawings and
load them later, just like in regular drawing program.) Serialization
didn't work for all OMGraphic classes. I modified some of them and it
helped a little. I've submitted my changes to openmap-users list
(http://openmap.bbn.com/mailArchives/openmap-users/2003-09/1823.html)

But after any change in OMGraphic classes (new field, method, etc.)
my stored files could not be loaded any more - this is due to default
serialization feature - serial id.

In my opinion OMGraphic *should* serialize properly and problems you
wrote about should be fixed. Here Don is a person which decide what to
do with this.

I don't know what exactly mean 'later' in your case. If it is short time
and you are not planning to permanently store created graphics, simple
serialization should work for you.

If you want to store your graphics for longer time (just as I wanted) I
would recommend using Java 1.4 XML storing mechanism. I will send you
another letter which contains some code which might help you. This is a
library which I used to store OMGraphic now instead of simple serialization.

Hope this helps,
Piotr Kaminski
