RE: Why write a serializer/deserializer ??

Why write a serializer/deserializer ??My reasons are:

1)  I didn't want to "serialize" all properties of my objects.

2)  I think the BeanSerializer is case sensitive for property names, and I'm
working with clients developed in other languages that aren't.

3)  I wanted to have complete control and understand exactly what was going
on <g>

  Hi,

  Sorry for my ignorance as I'm a new-comer to SOAP.  I've been reading the
documentation on Apache's SOAP implementation and was wondering why you
would write a serializer/deserializer when you could just use the
BeanSerializer.  It seems to be able to handle any java bean.

  Is there any reason a java bean wouldn't work with the BeanSerializer ?
Any reason why you wouldn't use a java bean ?

  I know I'm obviously missing something, but it would be great if someone
could tell me what it is.

  Thanks.
