Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Create an object graph where Class A contains a reference to Class B and Class B contains a reference back to Class A. Explain how Java would handle serialization of this graph.
💡 Hint: Consider how cyclic references are tracked.
Design a scenario where you have multiple objects, some of which don’t implement Serializable. Discuss what errors you'd expect when trying to serialize this scenario.
💡 Hint: Think about the implications of object types in Java.
