The Serialization interface is essentially a flag as there are NO methods or data attached to this interface -- implementing Serialization implies your willingness to be saved using default Java mechanism!
|
|
The Serialization process is typically implemented by a container (Java Applet, Application, Java Beans Container)
|
|
Typically one serializes to an output stream and deserializes from an input stream

|
DataOutput Interface describes streams that can write out data in a machine independent fashion
|
ObjectOutputStream class extends DataOutput (and an ObjectOutput Interface) and defines methods to write out variables of all the primitive types with a general
-
writeObject(Object obj)
-
and a whole bunch of methods like writeShort(int data)
