Make all classes serializable

[guilhermecgs]

When using random forest, for example, every time the model is trained it results in a slightly different prediction.

Would be import to train the model for the first time, save the model in a file using serialization, and then use this saved version to always get the same results

For that to work, all classes must the serializable

I have just read serialization info in the main page...
Can you provide examples for using XStream with random forest?

is it just like this?

XStream xstream = new XStream(new BinaryStreamDriver());
RandomForest randomForest = (RandomForest) xstream.fromXML(is);

XStream web has tons of examples there.

From http://xstream.codehaus.org/javadoc/com/thoughtworks/xstream/XStream.html

XStream xstream = new XStream();
String xml = xstream.toXML(myObject); // serialize to XML
Object myObject2 = xstream.fromXML(xml); // deserialize from XML
