Q.) What happens to the static fields of a class during serialization?

kkchaitanya_18 · 30-01-07, 06:06 PM

There are three exceptions in which serialization doesnot necessarily read and write to the stream. These are
1. Serialization ignores static fields, because they are not part of ay particular state state.
2. Base class fields are only hendled if the base class itself is serializable.
3. Transient fields.

As far as i know , the static fields cannot take part in serialization, because as chaitanya said, they are not part of any particular state.But am not sure completely about the answer

Any thoughts guyz/gals

Thank You
