transient
identifies a variable not to be written out when an
instance is serialized (It can'nt be copied to remove
system)

volatile
indicates that the field is used by synchronized threads
and that the compiler should not attempt to perform
optimizations with it.

When more than one thread share a (volatile) data it is
checked every time. Every thread keeps the latest value of
volatile variable

Answer / jagan kumar(zylog systems ltd.

Transient
.........
Only variable can be declared as Transient, When
used as a Modifier in a variable Declaration it suggests
that a variable may not be return out when the class is
serialized

Volatile
.........
The keyword volatile can be used to declare
variables. The use of the keyword volatile in a variable
declaration suggests the compiler that multiple threads may
access the variable. Therefore the value of the variable
may change unexpectedly. A Compile time error will occur
declaring a variable both volatile and final.

Example for Volatile:
.....................

volatile int v = 0;
Thread 1:
v++;
Thread 2:
v--;

The questioners usually want the answer "v can only
be 0 after this code is run", because

volatile int v = 0;
Thread 1:
r1 = v;
r2 = r1 + 1;
v = r2;
Thread 2:
r3 = v;
r4 = r3 - 1;
v = r4;
So, if Threads 1 and 2 both read v and see the value
0, then Thread 1 will write 1 to it and Thread 2 will
write -1 to it. You are not guaranteed to see the value 0!

Answer / lakshmidontukurthy

Trying to put a non-serializable variable in a
seriealisible class,we can use transient modifier ,so that
the jvm skips the transient variable ,and make that class
as serializable class

Answer / manodeep pandey

Java defines two interesting type modifiers: transient and
volatile. These modifiers are used to handle somewhat
specialized situations.

When an instance variable is declared as transient, then
its value need not persist when an object is stored. For
example:

class T {

transient int a; // will not persist

int b; // will persist

}

Here, if an object of type T is written to a persistent
storage area, the contents of a would not be saved, but the
contents of b would. The volatile modifier tells the
compiler that the variable modified by volatile can be
changed unexpectedly by other parts of your program. One of
these situations involves multithreaded programs. In a
multithreaded program, sometimes, two or more threads share
the same instance variable. For efficiency considerations,
each thread can keep its own, private copy of such a shared
variable. The real (or master) copy of the variable is
updated at various times, such as when a synchronized
method is entered. While this approach works fine, it may
be inefficient at times. In some cases, all that really
matters is that the master copy of a variable always
reflects its current state. To ensure this, simply specify
the variable as volatile, which tells the compiler that it
must always use the master copy of a volatile variable (or,
at least, always keep any private copies up to date with
the master copy, and vice versa). Also, accesses to the
master variable must be executed in the precise order in
which they are executed on any private copy.

Answer / deepak divvela

1.transient variables can not be serialized.
2.volatile variables may change with the affect of other one

Answer / pasindu

Trsnsient:
If you mark an instance variable as transient you're telling
the JVM to skip this variable when you attempt to serialize
the object containing it.

Volatile:
The volatile modifier tells the JVM that a thread accessing
the variable must always reconcile its own private copy of
the variable with the master copy in memory.
It can be apply only to instance variables.

Answer / soumay m cyriac

we cant write the value of a transient variable into
datastream.volatile means its just like temporary variable

Answer / ravikiran

Transient variable is used to make the variable out of
synchronization.
Volatile variable is used when the variable is changing
it's state continuously
