<serialize>
Purpose/Function
Take a bean object in memory and write it serially as XML to a file.
If the object is ncsa.tools.common.UserFacing, will use the interface method; otherwise, it does implicit bean serialization using the ncsa.tools.common.util.bean.ImplicitJBeanSerializer (this is very verbose XML). The latter case is only guaranteed to work if the object follows the Java-bean model.
