It is possible to serialize a method? Because when I look at the documentation the Method class does not implements Serializable. So are there any alternatives?

Since Method does not implement Serializable, it cannot be serialized using the standard Java Serialization API.
Java Serialization Methods That's why there are four methods that we can provide in the class to change the serialization behavior.
Serialization is a mechanism of storing the state of an object. Based on this definition we can say that the instance variables in an object can be serialized. Methods are behaviors of the class. We can set and get the state of an object using the methods.
To make a Java object serializable we implement the java. io. Serializable interface. The ObjectOutputStream class contains writeObject() method for serializing an Object.
Since Method does not implement Serializable, it cannot be serialized using the standard Java Serialization API.
A workaround would be to manually serialize just the name of the class and method and its parameter types. You can then recreate the Method instance during deserialization.
