Serializing Listeners
I have an object that extends JFrame and contains a MouseListener and 3 ActionListeners. After I serialize the object and restore the object, none of the listeners respond any more.
Is there something special that needs to be done with Listeners in order to serialize them?

Re: Serializing Listeners
Long story short: the listener implementation that Swing uses is a transient array - in other words the registered listeners for swing components are not serialized. You could try and use a variety of methods to restore these listeners upon reading the object. My .02, but you might want to consider a different method to save things (I would typically discourage one from saving data in this manner - depending upon what you are doing - as other formats are more flexible to changes to the client/GUI without things breaking)
