[SNMP4J] VariableBinding XML serialization not supported

[Pavel Orehov]

Hi,

I am talking about java.beans.XMLDecoder.

I am trying to serialize PDU and not all field serialized because not all
fields have getter and setter public functions. For example in PDU class
there is a variableBindings Vector member that has only getter and NOT
setter. Since that XMLDecoder can't serialize this member. After I added the
setter everything works fine, but I should to change the snmp4j source code.


I think that all fields that exposed in toString functions should also be
exposed for serialization - be public or have public getter and setter.


Thanks,
Pavel
