Question 1

If a superclass is not serializable, its fields will be:

  • Serialized
  • Not Serialized
  • Partially Serialized

💡 Hint: Remember how Java defines serialization with respect to class hierarchies.

Question 2

True or False: An Employee class that extends a non-serializable Person class can retain the nationality attribute.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the serialization rules again.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Create a Java class hierarchy with a base class that is not serializable. Describe what happens when you serialize an object of a subclass.

💡 Hint: Clarify how serialization treats base and derived classes.

Question 2

Propose a method to ensure that all classes in a complex hierarchy are serializable without repetitive code.

💡 Hint: Think about how inheritance can help reduce redundancy.
