java – 如何序列化类？

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: can't serialize class mongodb.Person

    at mongodb.MongoDB.main(MongoDB.java:45)

类Person定义如下：

class Person{
    private String name;
    public Person(String name){
        this.name = name;
    }
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

程序是：

DBCollection coll = db.getCollection("test");
        DBObject record = new BasicDBObject();
        List<Person> persons= new ArrayList<Person>();
        persons.add(new Person("Jack"));
        record.put("person",persons);
        coll.save(record);

我找不到谷歌的答案,所以请帮助我.
