RemarksThis serialises objects starting from the root object and including all objects under it in the containment tree. The tree can be already persisted, or can be provisional. It also stores associated collection contents. Once stored, the tree can be reproduced exactly using the TreeDeserialiser class. The serialisation process descends the tree twice, once for contained nodes and a second time for associations. Any associations which are not to objects within the serialised tree are serialised as MetaReferences.
You can optionally supply a SerialiserFilter delegate which will be called for every node being serialised. It is called for each contained node during the first serialisation pass, and during the second pass for each contained node and then each association within contained nodes which pass the filter.
