Do VAST have Binary object storage feature like BOSS in VisualWorks? Please let me know.

Thanks,

in VA Smalltalk there is ObjectDumper which provides quite the same functionality.

Is it possible to dump the service object or container at packaging time?
My requirement is i want the Wsdls to be deployed at packaging time and dumped as a file. So that on each time i load the application, i want my the service object to be loaded from the dumped file. I have written code to dump the service object or container, but i am getting exception.

Please someone help on this.

| dumper targetObject stream factory aServiceCollection aService |

factory := ( SstWSContainer createContainerNamed: 'container' ) handlerFactory.
aServiceCollection := factory container deploy: 'wsdl link').
aService := aServiceCollection first.
targetObject := aService sstContainer.
(stream := CfsWriteFileStream open: 'c:\dumpObject.bos') isCfsError
ifTrue: [
self error: stream printString].
stream isBytes: true.
dumper := ObjectDumper new.
dumper unload: targetObject intoStream: stream.
stream close.
dumper hasErrorOccurred
ifTrue: [self error: dumper currentErrorString].

Perhaps it would be useful to let us know the exception or the walkback to give a meaningful answer ?
