I often find myself writing the same boilerplate over and over for my basic persistence needs. My usual pattern is to serialize/materialize a class-side instance variable with accessors of the same name. Some time ago, I added the following to SimplePersistence (IIRC it gets loaded by default): aClass persist: #fieldName which adds the necessary code automatically. Since I've been playing with STON a bit, I created the same in STON-Tools and uploaded to http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~SeanDeNigris/SeansOutbox. There is even a test ;) Enjoy... ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/ANN-Tiny-Dev-Tools-for-SimplePersistence-and-STON-tp48...
