Question

How are the constructors called during serialization and deserialization

1. When there is one class implementing serializable?
2. When there is parent/child relationship and only child implements serializable?
3. When there is parent/child relationship and both parent and child implements serializable?

Answer 1

During deserialization the accessible default constructor is called for the first class in the inheritance hierarchy that does not implement Serializable.
