XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["Brian Sam-Bodden" <bsbodden AT integrallis.com>]

XOM users,
  Okay, read the "java rules" section of the "what's
wrong" presentation. So, no XOM classes are
serializable. My problem is one of avoiding parsing a
document more than once. When I was using DOM (yuck!) I
could do many things with my DOM objects such as hang
them on a JNDI tree and retrieve them later, pass them
in JMS messages as Object Messages and other niceties
that come with being serializable. I'll find a way
around this but I would still like to understand the
reasons for not implementing serializable? 
  
Thanks,
  Brian
