XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["Altman, Alan" <Alan.Altman AT ipc.com>]

Basic question here.

I don't really understand what it means when it says that xom is not 
serializeable and one should use xml.

If I have created a document (which seems straightforward) what do I do with 
it to be able to send it across a socket that I have opened. 
And also the opposite. What do I do if I need to receive a file from a socket.

Thanks for a basic, simple answer.
