Serialize a ArrayList

I needed to figure out an easy way to serialize and deserialize an arraylist with custom objects. Here below is the way i did it or you can download it here

import java.beans.XMLDecoder;
import java.beans.XMLEncoder;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;

public class XML {

public static void Serialize(ArrayList l){

try {FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("address.xml");

XMLEncoder xenc = new XMLEncoder(fos);xenc.writeObject(l);

xenc.close();fos.close();

} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();} catch (IOException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch blocke.printStackTrace();

}}

public static ArrayList Deserialize(){

//		 Create input streams.

FileInputStream fis;

ArrayList List = new ArrayList();

try {

fis = new FileInputStream("address.xml");

XMLDecoder xdec = new XMLDecoder(fis);

//			Read object.

List = (ArrayList) xdec.readObject();

xdec.close();

fis.close();

} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

} catch (IOException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

return List;

}

}
