What is serialVersionUID and what is its need?



What is serialVersionUID and what is its need?..

Answer / javamasque

The serial version UID is metadata about the serializable object, it is hash code for the serializable object. It contains information about class name, field name, field type, implemented interfaces and super classes. For each modification to serializable object, we have to update serial version UID explicitly. If we do not provide any serial version UID, JVM’s default serialization mechanism generates serial version UID for the object at runtime.

During deserialization, JVM matches the serial version UID from object stream with the serializable object which will receive the stream data. If there is a mismatch in serial version UID, JVM throws InvalidClassException

public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { int countA = 0; int countB = 0; int countC = 0; int countD = 0; int countE = 0; int countF = 0; int countG = 0; int countH = 0; int countI = 0; int countJ = 0; int countK = 0; int countL = 0; int countM = 0; int countN = 0; int countO = 0; int countP = 0; int countQ = 0; int countR = 0; int countS = 0; int countT = 0; int countU = 0; int countV = 0; int countW = 0; int countX = 0; int countY = 0; int countZ = 0; } } Can anybody tell me any alternate solution(like loop or something) to automate this initialization process. Ex:- for(char chr='A';chr<='Z'; chr++) { (int) String "count"+chr = 0; }
