This image and the preceding code listings demonstrate that Java serialization can be an effective method for lightweight persistence. Serialization is not limited to standard Java SDK classes.

Serialization is the process of saving an object's state to a sequence of bytes; deserialization is the process of rebuilding those bytes into a live object. The Java Serialization API provides a ...

Last month, Oracle's chief architect, Mark Reinhold, said during a conference Q&A that one of Oracle's long-term goals is to change the way Java handles object serialization. In fact, he called the ...

Serialization bugs have been a big problem for Java Reinhold told InfoWorld that serialization issues could be very easily responsible for a third or even a half of all known Java flaws.

PayPal has rewarded two researchers with bug bounties for the discovery of a Java serialization vulnerability in manager.paypal.com A Java serialization vulnerability disclosed more than a year ...

The proof-of-concept code released from these experiments was later used to confirm that over 70 other Java applications were also vulnerable to deserialization flaws.
