It is written in documentation that if writeObject and readObject methods are there they must have the following exact signatures 



			

			private void writeObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream out) throws IOException
			

			private void readObject(java.io.ObjectInputStream in) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException;




If the Serializable interface is empty then how and where are the signatures of these methods checked?

I think it means that if and when the class in question gets serialized by another class, the JVM will try and call those exact method signatures, perhaps through reflection?
