Re: Serialize its create method throws NullPointerException

There are many other frameworks out there for serializing java objects.
The code in the postgres jdbc driver isn't very good, and will likely
be removed in the next release. Depending on what you are trying to do,
I would start with the Java2 serialization code and store the result in
a bytea column.
