I have a regular class, implements serializable, private variables with
getter/setter.

Nothing prints - despite being populated - ahhh driving me nuts

The plot thickens when I use hardcoded strings to set the properties
i.e. instead of cp.getUserName() I used "username"

If I put println in the method it proves there is data...

public void saveConnection(ConnProperty cp)
     ConnProperty conn = new ConnProperty();
     conn.setUsername(cp.getUserName());
     conn.setDriverClass(cp.getDriver());
     conn.setPassword(cp.getPassword);
     conn.setUrl(cp.getUrl());
     ConnectionList.setConfigFileName("test.xml");
     ConnectionList list =new ConnectionList();
     list.add(conn);
     SerializeUtility.serializeXML(new File(filename),
list.elements());

 public static void serializeXML(File file, Enumeration e1) throws
IOException {
   XMLEncoder encoder = null;
   try
   {
     encoder = new XMLEncoder(
               new BufferedOutputStream(
                 new FileOutputStream(file)));
     while (e1.hasMoreElements()) {
       encoder.writeObject(e1.nextElement());
     }
   } catch (Exception ex) {
     Debug.LogException("SerializeUtility", ex);
   }
   finally
   {
     if (encoder != null) {
       encoder.close();
     }
   }
 }
