Serialization problems with class modifications

Hi everybody.

I have a huge problem with reading back stored objects after the class definition has changed (e.g. a new property, or a deleted property).

I have an application in beta testing and some updates cause terrible problems to users.

I would like to find some information about the way readObject works and what is the way to override it.

Is there any way i will ever overcome this problem?

Thanx to everybody.

Loukas.

Maintaining serialized objects across versions is a problem. There are no easy solutions.Have you searched the site for other threads on the subject?
