Question 1.
What happens to static fields when an object is serialized?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what static means in object-oriented programming.
Question 2.
Define what serialization is in your own words.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how data moves from one machine to another.
3Question 3.
Which fields are serialized during the process of serialization?
- Static fields
- Transients only
- Non-static and non-transient fields
Show hintHide hint
Think about what is saved to a byte stream when an object is serialized.
4Question 4.
True or False: Static fields are included in the serialization of an object.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider what static represents in classes.
Question 5.
Create a class that has both static and instance fields. Write methods to serialize and deserialize the instances and explain the behavior of static fields post-deserialization.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how instance creation interacts with static variables.
Question 6.
Consider a scenario where static fields are crucial. How would you ensure their values remain consistent across both serialized and deserialized states?
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on how you could encapsulate this behavior in your class design.
