Hi All!
I have a confusion while studying Serialization.
Can any one help in undestanding What will happen with a static property of a class when its object will be serialized.As static property is attached with class not object and serialization writes object state to some file system.
Waiting for replies,
Thanks in advance

static variables are class variables. They are NOT part of Objects state. Hence they will NOT be written during serialization.

in this case, will static variable behave like Transient one.
I want to know,when that object will be deserialized,what value it will have for that static variable.
As per my understanding, transient variables get their default value when serialized or deserialized.

Get your hands dirty. Write some code and learn all the buzz about serialization/deserialization, transient, static.

All the best.
