The question is sometimes asked as – Can we define a field as ‘static transient’ and ‘final transient’ field? Yes, we can define a field as ‘static transient’. We don’t receive any error and compiler doesn’t complain. However, this is not useful as static fields are not serialized. Static variables belong to a class and…

Variables may be marked transient to indicate that they are not part of the persistent state of an object. transient is the modifier applicable only for variables. If you define any data member as transient, it will not be serialized. At the time of serialization JVM ignores the original value of transient variable and save…

In the following example, we are serializing instance of Student class. Student class has two fields, rollNo and age. We are saving state of the object in test.ser file. ObjectOutputStream class has method writeObject to write object state and ObjectInputStream class has method readObject to read object state.During serialization we are reading state of object…

Generally all applications require objects to be saved. Once a program is executed/terminated, the object is destroyed by itself. If you want to persist the state of an object you can use the serialization concept by converting data into a byte stream. Serialization means to convert state of an object into a byte stream. Deserialization…
