    Subject: reinitializing key object from encoded byte array

hi -

is it possible to create/reinitialize an object implementing
the Key interface from a byte array generated using the
getEncoded() method of that object? my question really is,
if is use the getEncoded() method to store a PublicKey in
a database as a byte array, would it be possible to read
in that byte array from the database and initialize a
Key object. ...or would storage of a serialized key
be more ideal? thanks for any help.
