下面这两篇文章讲得特别明白,简单的说,就是Serialization机制是
指把类或者基本的数据类型持久化(persistence)到数据流(Stream)中,包括文件、字节流、网络数据流。
JAVA中实现serialization主要靠两个类:ObjectOuputStream和ObjectInputStream。他们是JAVA IO系统里的OutputStream和InputStream的子类。既然他们是JAVA IO中的流,那么就可以像操作一般的流一样来操作他们。

Java的关键字transient

这里有一段详细的代码,我还添加了一点点注释便于理解:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Logon implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private Date date = new Date();
private String username;
private transient String password;
Logon(String name, String pwd) {
username = name;
password = pwd;
}
public String toString() {
String pwd = (password == null) ? "(n/a)" : password;
return "logon info: \n " +
"username: " + username +
"\n date: " + date.toString() +
"\n password: " + pwd;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Logon a = new Logon("Hulk", "myLittlePony");
System.out.println( "logon a = " + a);
try {
ObjectOutputStream o = new ObjectOutputStream( new FileOutputStream("Logon.out"));
o.writeObject(a);
o.close();
// Delay:
int seconds = 5;
long t = System.currentTimeMillis() + seconds * 1000;
while(System.currentTimeMillis() < t);
// Now get them back:
ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream( new FileInputStream("Logon.out"));
System.out.println( "Recovering object at " + new Date());
a = (Logon)in.readObject();
System.out.println( "logon a = " + a);
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
