Object Serialization and Remote Method Invocation

  • Chapter
Object-Oriented Programming and Java

Abstract

Almost every application requires some means of keeping data across program runs. Most applications use a file or database for the storage or persistence of data. However, databases are not typically used to store objects, particularly Java objects. On the other hand, flat files alone do not cope well with object structure. What is required is some means to preserve the state of a Java object so that it may be easily stored and subsequently restored to its original state.
