In this blog post, I look at some simple examples of lightweight persistence with Java serialization.

Oracle's chief architect says his company intends to remove serialization from Java -- eventually.

Last month, Oracle's chief architect, Mark Reinhold, said during a conference Q&A that one of Oracle's long-term goals is to change the way Java handles object serialization. In fact, he called the ...

Java provides a means to conveniently serialize data to maintain its integrity as it's sent over a network. Attackers can exploit vulnerabilities in the deserialization process if there aren't ...

PayPal has rewarded two researchers with bug bounties for the discovery of a Java serialization vulnerability in manager.paypal.com A Java serialization vulnerability disclosed more than a year ...

The second screen image demonstrates that the -Xlint:serial nonstandard javac option does display warnings about a Serializable class that does not explicitly declare a serialVersionUID.
