Serialization

[Godmar Back]

 I am correcting myself about my earlier comment that interoperable
serialization is impossible due to lack of documentation.

Starting in 1.2,  Sun has indeed documented the serial form of
run-time classes.  The relevant URL is
http://www.javasoft.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/serialized-form.html
It can be reached through the "Serial Form" link in the API documentation
for a given class.  This link is in the "See" section of the page.
