Serializing SearchClient in Yahoo SDK
Hello
I am writing an agent that will search the web using the yahoo web services. My problem is that I need the agent to be Serializable but the class SearchClient which is responsible for all communication between the client and yahoo webservice is not, so I cant't run my agent.
Does anyone have any idea howI can make the SearchClient class Serializable. bello is the code for the agent.
