[Simple-support] How to deserialize from a stream

[Tony T. <Ton...@st...>]

I was able to serialize several objects to an output stream but now I
would like to stream them back.  There are too many objects to load them
all into memory at once.  It looks the Persister.read() method will work
but, I have to pass in the object type that I am reading.  I don't know
what the type of the next object is because I have several different
object types written to the XML file.  Is there a way to stream each
object back (one object in memory at a time) without knowing the object
type ahead of time?
 
I was able to serialize/deserialize all of my objects when I put them in
a wrapper object and used @ElementList but, that requires they are all
in memory at the same time so it really doesn't help me.  Any other
input would be helpful.
 
Thanks.
Tony
