Question

I have a class that implements java.io.Serializable interface.So all the variables in that class is serilaizable. But i want to make some of the variables are should not serializable. Is it possible?

thanks,

Answer 1

Mark those variables as transient.

e.g.

class A implements Serializable{
    int a;
    transient int b;
}

When an object of A is serialized, the transient field b will not be serialized.
