I'm trying to write a program that will serialize the model to a file. The
code to load and save is located
within functions within the model.

Save seems to work fine

the following code:
      FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(filename);
      ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(fout);
      out.writeObject(this);

But load doesn't like "this".
      FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(filename);
      ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(fin);
      this = (LeagueSubject)in.readObject();
      in.close();

Does anyone know how to replace an object within it's own class?  (if that
makes any sence!)
