Java:API:Serialization
What is object serialization?
How should I declare fields within my serializable class to prevent them from being serialized?
Can I persist my objects using serialization instead of using a relational or object database?
What are the security ramifications of using the Externalizable interface?
Why am I having an InvalidClassException thrown during the serialization of my object which implements the Externalizable interface?
Why doesn't serialization save the value of static variables?
How can I speed up serialization?
What is the Stream Unique IDentifier (SUID) that is written out as part of the serial stream?
What is the purpose of the tool "serialver"? How is it used?
What are the compatible and incompatible changes when dealing with versioned serialized objects?
What are the advantages and disadvantags of serialization?
Does serialization depend on the browser, platform, or VM?
Can I use a BufferedOutputStream with an ObjectOutputStream to serialize an object?
How can I validate what I've just deserialized?
What resources are available to read Java serialized output in C++ programs?
Can an application running in a version 1.1.x JVM read an object that was serialized by an application running in a version 1.2.x JVM?
What is UTF that Serialization uses to write strings?
How do I load a serialized applet?
I want to have complete control of the binary file format generated by ObjectOutputStream, so I implemented Externalizable in my objects and extended ObjectOutputStream so that I could overwrite the writeStreamHeader() and readStreamHeader() methods. But still when I write data to the stream, some extra information is written. How can I prevent this?
Using ObjectOutputStream, how can I use writeObject() to write the same object twice, so on the other end readObject() will read two separate objects, not two references to the same object?
If an object is serialized by a 1.1.x VM, can it be de-serialized by a 1.2.x VM?
When trying to serialize large strings, or pass large strings as parameters to remote methods, I keep getting a java.io.EOFException. This only happens for strings, not for other large objects. What is the problem?
Are there any system properties in Java that affect Serialization?
I keep getting an InvalidClassException when I read in my serialized objects. What am I doing wrong?
Is there a maximum size of a serialized object tree graph?
Can I use an arbitrary long value for serialVersionUID when I declare it in my class?
How do I handle versioning of my Externalizable classes? Do I have to write a version number to the stream?
How do I use the @serial javadoc tag?
How do I use the @serialData javadoc tag?
What things are required for a class that implements Externalizable?
What things are required for a class that implements Serializable?
I'm having trouble getting Externalizable to work. Can you give a simple code example?
How can I save an Image object using serialization?
Can I serialize an array directly, or do I have to wrap it in an object first?
My subclass implements Serializable but my superclass doesn't. Both subclass and superclass contain instance variables that need to be saved as part of the state of the subclass. Will serialization save the superclass fields for me?
Are there any other FAQs on Serialization?
When using object streams over sockets, I have to flush the streams after each write operation. In fact I even have to flush the output stream soon after creation. Is there a way out of this?
What role does serialization have in RMI?
Can I pass Externalizable objects by value using RMI, or do the objects have to implement Serializable directly?
How do I use the @serialField javadoc tag?
The javadoc documentation for every Swing class contains the warning that "Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases." What exactly does this mean, and how does it affect how I write my Swing applications?
How can I make a deep copy of an object using serialization?
Why would I want to implement Externalizable instead of Serializable?
ObjectOutputStream seems to be holding a reference to all the objects in my large graph, even after I close the stream. This keeps my objects from being garbage collected. Is this a bug?
I keep getting a StackOverflowError when I try to serialize my objects. What does this mean and how can I stop it?
How can I programmatically obtain the serialVersionUID for a class?
What are the writeReplace() and readResolve() methods used for?
How has Serialization changed in the Java 2 SE SDK, v1.3?
Is writing an object to an ObjectOutputStream a thread-safe operation?
Does serialization support encryption?
Can an object of type Class be serialized?
What are the security considerations for serialization?
How can I read and write serialized objects to and from a database?
I am able to write an object using ObjectOutputStream but when I try to read the object back using ObjectInputStream I get a StreamCorruptedException. How can I overcome this?
Can I serialize an object that has native methods?
Is there a way to serialize an object as an XML document?
Can a Vector or a Hashtable be serialized and deserialized?
How can I change the names of instance variables in a class which is Serializable and still be able to read serialized files from a previous version of the class? If I use serialver to create a version ID then implement readObject(), how would I know in which order to read in the instance variables from the old serialized files?
What is an object graph?
What is ObjectStreamClass used for?
What is ObjectStreamField used for?
What is a serialized bean?
How can I serialize an object into a byte array?
How can I modify a serialized object which is stored in a file if the file contains a large number of objects?
How can an applet read a serialized object residing in the same directory?
Why should I implement readObject() even if I don't implement writeObject()?
Where can I find the official documentation of the Sun Java SDK tools?
Are methods also serialized along with the data members?
Is there any significant performance gain in serialization from declaring instance variables as transient?
Is there any way to save the state of an object of a class which does not implement Serializable or Extenalizable?.
