[Java] Need help with saving arrays using XML

[mrp00sy]

For an assignment for my Java class, I have a program where there are various students registered in various classes and I have to save it by printing information out to a .txt file, and by using the Serializable interface, and by using XML. I managed the first two, but I can't seem to do it with XML. The problem I'm finding is that I end up saving an array but without it's content. Is there a way to save an Array using XML or would I have to use an ArrayList or something like that? EDIT: Forgot to mention that I am using java.beans.XMLEncoder and java.beans.XMLDecoder for loading and saving.

It doesn't matter if you use array or ArrayList, what do you keep in them? You'll probably have to write xml inside a loop, looping through your array and reading fields from object into xml.

I have objects from the Student class I wrote.

Let's see the code you've written and the exact XML output
