Serialization of Collection classes

[me.anchit]

Hi,
I have just learnt about Serialization of objects in a file, and it was easy.
Could someone please tell me how to serialize the Collection classes like serializing
Vector, Stack, ArrayList, etc.

You may provide example using just one of the classes.
But plz do explain the theoritical part of it.

Thank you.

Serializing any Collection<E> class is the same as serializing any other class but note that the elements E have to be Serializable themself.

Erm, what example? As I wrote the Collection framework is Serializable as long as the elements they contain are Serializable so e.g. a List<JButton> is serializable but a Set<Socket> isn't because the element type Socket isn't Serializable.
