Thank you for paying attention to my question. My problem is that I am making a C/S program ,then I want to make the Client program with the configuration that let the user to fill it.
the Class is
"Class ClientFrame{
public ClientFrame(String hostIp, String hostPort){
........
}
}"
where,I want to save the specify instance of the ClientFrame ,then I can make it to the client user ,and he or she can use the *.java or *.jar to connect the host user computer.
But, I do not know how to save the specify instance of the ClientFrame ,and save it like the *.java or *.jar.

To directly answer your question. You can pre-instantiate the objects that you want, and serialize them to a file. Then your program can simply derserialized the instances from those files.

However, I am guessing that this is *not* optimal. In your description, you sound like you want to set configurations. It might be a better idea to simply create configuration files, in any format that you want; and during application start up, load the configuration files, to instantiate the objects that you need.
