In that thread there is a link to a tutorial with code. It is a good place to start learning.
As far as I could understand, it is only telling that by using Externalization we can control the process but if i am not wrong then by overriding readObject() and writeObject() in Serializable we can also achieve the same thing as with readExternal() and writeExternal() of Externalizable..
So how do they differ?
Could you please explain me with use of some Java code
