If class A does not implement Serializable but a subclass B implements Serializable, will the fields of class A be serialized when B is serialized?

Hi,

When you implements Serializable to a class, its super class variables are not serialized. But variables of its sub classes will be serialized automatically. When you deserialize a class whose super class does not implements Serializable then you will not get the actual values of super class's variables. You will get the current value.
