Description Jesse Glick 1999-08-25 18:38:57 UTC

Instead of:

value="-112,65,..."

use

hexvalue="D368..."

would save up to 2x space in form files. Could change attribute name as shown so as to preserve backwards compatibility.

Comment 1 Tomas Pavek 2001-01-22 09:31:59 UTC

Currently we wouldn't save much space (only for serialized properties) - and
we'll change the XML storing completely in the future anyway (using "JSR-57
Long-term Persistence for JavaBeans").

Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
