Hi, I think an object is serializable when it explicitly implement Serializable interface. Are there any objects that are by default serializable.I mean implicitly implimenting Serializable interface? - Thanks

Object streams implement Serializable interface. There are a lot of other classes which implement sub-interfaces of serializable. Java API documentation is the best place to find what you are looking for. Ajith

Thanks Ajith, I found that Vector,String,Exception,all Wrapper classes,GridBagConstraint classes are serializable. But are they serializable without explicitly implementing the Serializable interface?? - Thanks

Nope. They must implement the Serializable interface in order to become serializable. Ajith
