Is anyone looking at what it would take to store instances of Java objects
persistently (so they could be re-read from a file)?  Ie, the moral
equivalent of VC++ & MFC's "archive" files, or various Smalltalk techniques
(ParcPlace's "BOSS" files or STV's "ObjectFiler") ?

These approaches generally allow storing multiple objects, resolving
inter-object references by storing only one copy of each object.  This is
generally a binary form that's smaller than text and can more easily
represent interconnected objects.
