question: protected void encodeFields ( mxCodec enc , Object obj , Node node ) { Class type = obj . getClass ( ) ; while ( type != null ) { Field [ ] fields = type . getDeclaredFields ( ) ; for ( int i = 0 ; i < fields . length ; i ++ ) { Field f = fields [ i ] ; if ( ( f . getModifiers ( ) & Modifier . TRANSIENT ) != Modifier . TRANSIENT ) { String fieldname = f . getName ( ) ; Object value = getFieldValue ( obj , fieldname ) ; encodeValue ( enc , obj , fieldname , value , node ) ; } } type = type . getSuperclass ( ) ; } }
target:  Encodes the declared fields of the given object into the given node.
