Problem with Beans

aidan_walsh

I'm having a problem getting my class to work properly through java.beans.XMLEncoder.writeObject()

What I want is for the XML file to contain both the class header and the data inside in the Vector. I've never really used Beans before, but the tutorials I have read basically say that as long as you implement Serializable you should have no bother...

Yet all I get is the basic class header in the XML file. Can anybody tell me what I need to do to get this working?

Thanks in advance!

public class FileStructure implements Serializable
{
  Vector fileStructure = new Vector();

  public void addDirectory(File root, boolean subfolders) throws
      InvalidDirectoryException
  {
    
  }

  public void addFiles(File[] target) throws InvalidFileException
  {
    
  }

  public void remove(File root) throws IOException
  {
    
  }

  public File[] describe()
  {
    
  }

  public DefaultMutableTreeNode describeAsTree()
  {
   
  }

  public long count()
  {
    
  }

  public class InvalidDirectoryException extends Exception
  {
    
  }

  public class InvalidFileException extends Exception
  {
    
  }
}
