Serialization of Objects

[Lucas Tam]

If I have an object that has the following structure:

SerializableObj ect
Several Private Variable
One Private CustomCollectio nObject

Do I also need to make the CustomCollectio nObject serializable as well, or
would making SerializableObj ect serializable be fine?

Basically does serializing SerializableObj ect imply that
CustomCollectio nObject is serialized as well?

Thanks.

Making the outer class serializable implies that all its instance variables
will be serialized (unless you mark some of them as <NotSerializabl e()>.
However this does not mean that all variables will be _able_ to serialize.
In fact if some of them are not serializable by themself (their types are
not serializable), then not only those fields will not serialize, but the
whole class will not be able to serialize.
