JVM plays any role on serilization of Java Object ?

[Prabhat Ranjan]

Hi,

is JVM pays any role to serialize the java object.

one thing i know it marks up the object using marker interface serilizable.

one more thing if we don't implement serilizable interface then will get error:

java.io.NotSerializableException: PersonDetails

means it is mandatory to implement that interface.

JVM plays complete role in any aspect related to Java, nothing specific about Serialization. And yes, the Serializable interface is required to mark the objects of the class as serializable.

JVM plays complete role on serialization. actually serialization is a Jvm mechanism.

Yes. it is mandatory. so that Jvm can understand[by using instanceof operator] that this object can be serialize .

And adding to the fact..If an object is serializable on one JVM, it WILL be serializable in any JVM as mandated by Java spec.
