so using the XMLDecoder I want to create a factory class, initialize it,
and then call the newFoo method on it.

to make it easy, i'll read in everything that can be read and ignore
anything that isn't off the appropriate type.

So, if Foo is my class I want, and FooFactory is the factory.

<object id="theFactory" class="FooFactory">
    <void property="bar">
        <string>Hello</string>
    </void>
</object>
<object idref="theFactory" method="newFoo" />

the second object being read in by the XMLDecoder is the FooFactory from
before, it's not even calling the newFoo method.

Any ideas?
