MIssing tutorial?

I seem to remember that there was a tutorial on serialization. But searching for it on the Tutorial section gives a missing link. Anyone got any idea where it might be? As a newbie to this subject it's a bit necessary, as I'm having problems which I'm sure are silly. But without any background help it's highly frustrating.

Thanks. But the first of these refers specifically to JNDI, which I'm not using and isn't relevant. The second has specifications, but no tutorial material. And the FAQ refers to the upcoming JDK1.1. So it's hardly up to date :-(

As far as I can see, I'm doing what's required, but the classes aren't being deserialized successfully. I'll put up a more specific question when I've managed to reduce my rather ramified program to a simple enough form to include. The problem is in displaying deserialized AWT/Swing components. Do you know anything about this?
