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 ...

But while Oracle is addressing the issue in Java, serialization also affects other programming environments like .NET, Ruby, and others, where the issue remains dormant.

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.
