    John,

    XMLEncoder in Cayenne is a utility class used internally to encode
    org.objectstyle.cayenne.util.XMLSerializable object trees to XML. If
    you look at what classes implement XMLSerializable
    (http://objectstyle.org/cayenne/api/cayenne/org/objectstyle/cayenne/
    util/XMLSerializable.html), you'll see that those are mostly mapping
    metadata.

    DataObject is not XMLSerializable. So it is not the same as XMLEncoder
    in WebObjects. I wouldn't mind having a utility that encodes
    DataObjects to XML, but this is arguably outside of Cayenne scope, and
    thus not a priority.

    BTW, what are your most common uses of XMLEncoder in WebObjects? Just
    curious.

    Andrus
