persisting dialog items

Hi

If i have a JDialog that has a JPanle with numerous items (JTextFields, JCheckBoxes and so on)... and i want to persist the state of this panel, what is the recommended way?

I am thinkig i need to serialize the JPanel, save it in a file, and then load it on startup, but then how would i restore the references of the objects?
for example if i have a
JTextField name;

how would i make the "name" reference point to the name that was serialized before?

is there another "easier" way of persisting dialog items?

Thanks
.
