Question

I have a class which implements persistable and a transient boolean member in this class. I noticed that thought he variable is declared as transient its state is being persisted. How do i over come this issue. Kindly help. Thanks in advance.

Blackberry’s persistence mechanism does not respect transient. Possible solutions are:

• split the object into two parts, persistable and not, or
• use a different object format (perhaps something generic like a Hashtable) only for persistance, copying out into the “real” object after it is loaded and then writing back into the dummy object for saving.
