Saving and loading gui form data

[Brian McCloud <ma...@mauvecloud.net>]

I've been looking for a library to load and save gui form data (such as for an options dialog). I might be able to subclass DynaBean (from the BeanUtils library) to make an "aggregate" DynaBean that encapsulates bean properties from several other objects, and use the Configuration library to deal with saving and loading, but I was hoping somebody might know of an existing open-source library (even if not in Apache) that is closer to what I'm looking for, or could explain a better way of doing this with existing Apache Commons classes.

If the data you have to deal with is stored in Java beans, maybe the 
XML-based serialization mechanism introduced in Java 1.4 is an option 
for you? Have a look at the java.beans.XMLEncoder/XMLDecoder classes.
