getFieldNames method not available in BaseObject (serialization)

[Michel Beijlevelt / Lucka <mb...@lucka.nl>]

Hi all,

With the adoption of xml in our project we faced the problem of 
serializing some of our
torque objects to xml.

Great tools as castor are on the market, but unusable without any 
additional mapping because of the nature of the tool (use of 
introspection) sinds not all getters are usable. We wrote a simple 
serializer that retrieves al fieldnames through the method getFieldNames 
and used that for creating a xml node.

We then faced the problem that the getFieldNames method is available in 
every torque object, but not as an abstract in BaseObject. We wondered 
if there is any valid reason why this method isn't used in BaseObject?

Anyone used another solution in this case?

Kind regards,

Michel Beijlevelt
