Can I make an Interface as marker Interface

[Waez Ali]

Hi,

I just want to know can i create my own marker interface(that doesn't contain any thing) for my class.
As Cloneable,Serializable are...

So Please Let me know.

Thanks.

Of course.

Now, you also have to write any code which imparts meaning to that marker interface. Java itself won't know or care anything about it.

If you know how to define an interface, you know how to define a marker interface. Take any of the interfaces you've created and remove all method and constant declarations. Bingo, marker interface. Then use instanceof to test if an object implements your marker interface.
