Interview Questions and Answers

Q1. Write code for serialization.

Ans. // Java code for serialization and deserialization
// of a Java object
import java.io.*;

class Demo implements java.io.Serializable
{
   public int a;
   public String b;

   // Default constructor
   public Demo(int a, String b)
   {
      this.a = a;
      this.b = b;
   }

}

class Test
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      Demo object = new Demo(1, "geeksforgeeks");
      String filename = "file.ser";

      // Serialization
      try
      {
         //Saving of object in a file
         FileOutputStream file = new FileOutputStream(filename);
         ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(file);

         // Method for serialization of object
         out.writeObject(object);

         out.close();
         file.close();

         System.out.println("Object has been serialized");

      }

      catch(IOException ex)
      {
         System.out.println("IOException is caught");
      }

      Demo object1 = null;

      // Deserialization
      try
      {
         // Reading the object from a file
         FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream(filename);
         ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(file);

         // Method for deserialization of object
         object1 = (Demo)in.readObject();

         in.close();
         file.close();

         System.out.println("Object has been deserialized ");
         System.out.println("a = " object1.a);
         System.out.println("b = " object1.b);
      }

      catch(IOException ex)
      {
         System.out.println("IOException is caught");
      }

      catch(ClassNotFoundException ex)
      {
         System.out.println("ClassNotFoundException is caught");
      }

   }
}
