Object serialization is the process of saving an object’s state to a sequence of bytes. Does it saves only the instance variable or also the
object methods(like getter and setter methods) ?
Once we we write the object to outputstream or some text file, how does it get transmitted over network?
Do we write the java object state in a text file. right?
If you are using Java, when you serialize a object, the class code itself is not serialized. Instead, the output has a meta-data with your object class name(or some kind of reference to a class).
When you deserialize, java serialization machanism will look for this clas in your classpath.
To transmit over network, with java, you will use ObjectOutputStream with Network stream classes..
