Recap of my issues: When I went to check in, the Pending Checkins window would not give me the option to check in. It only gave me the option to unshelve. So I chose that option thinking it would lead to a ch ...Show All

I realise I probably have to serialize myStruct somehow, and maybe put xmlInclude in there, like I had to when I was returning an arraylist from a service, but how (Before even starting ...Show All
