Hi,

I need to serialize a JTextPane in order to put him in a object database;
however I know that is it not possible to serialize a Icon object. It is the
raison I remove icon before serialize (see the 'RUN KO' action):
            try
            {
                myTextPane.getStyledDocument().insertString(19, "\n", new
SimpleAttributeSet());
--->            removeIcon();  //REMOVE ICON BEFORE SERIALIZATION
--->            serialization(myTextPane.getStyledDocument());  //SERIALIZE
JTextPane WITHOUT ICONS
                myTextPane.repaint();
            }
            catch (Exeption exc)

First question: After this remove operation, my JTextPane don't contain Icon
object. Do you agree with that??
If yes, why I receive the 'MyIcon is not serializable as a value in an
AttributeSet' exeption???
If no, what is your explanation???

Second question: Do you know a workaround to serialize a icon object or/and
a JTextPane containing a icon??

Thanks you helping us,
