Question

I have this list

LinkedList<ASD> list = new LinkedList<ASD>();

then, I add some objects which extend ASD

BSD bsd = new BSD(); // BSD extends ASD
list.add(bsd);

and serialize list.

How can I get it to serialize and deserialize teh bsd element as BSD and
not as ASD?

Answer 1

It is not a problem. All objects that you want to serialize must be instances of classes that implement Serializable. LinkedList does it. Declare either ASD or BSD (it does not matter in your case) to implement Serializable and try. Everything should work.
