* The generic approach of writing data as XML can be overriden by adding custom
* methods for reading/writing in a derived class (cf. m_Properties, m_CustomMethods).
* Custom read and write methods must have the same signature (and also be
* public!) as the readFromXML and
* writeToXML methods. Methods that apply to the naming rule
* read + property name are added automatically to the list of
* methods by the method
* XMLSerializationMethodHandler.addMethods(...).
*
* Other properties that are not conform the bean set/get-methods have to be
* processed manually in a derived class (cf.
* readPostProcess(Object), writePostProcess(Object)).
*
* For a complete XML serialization/deserialization have a look at the
* KOML class.
*
* If a stored class has a constructor that takes a String to initialize (e.g.
* String or Double) then the content of the tag will used for the constructor,
* e.g. from
*
*
* <object name="name" class="String" primitive="no">Smith</object>
*
*
* "Smith" will be used to instantiate a String object as constructor argument.
