[Boost-users] [Serialization] a newbie question about retrieving objects serialized through base class pointers

Hi all,
I'm trying to reuse XML archives for some purpose. I'm serializing an array of pointers to a base class (let's call it A) containing pointers to derived classes (let's call them B and C). 
I'm wondering how does Boost distinguish between class types (A, B and C)when deserializing from the XML archive? (Is there any information in the XML archive or elsewhere giving the class name of the serialized object?)

Regards
