Serializing Arrays

[javaplus]

We can serialize objects of classes which implement Serializable interface.

import java.io.Serializable;
public class MyClass implements Serializable{
...
}

I also understand that we can serialize Vectors as they also implement Serializable interface. Can we serialize arrays? If yes, then of which type?

Thanks in advance.

Can we serialize arrays?
You could create an ArrayList with an array. ArrayList is also serializable.
Otherwise, probably.
If yes, then of which type?
Possibly most any.
You might be able to make a class (implementing Serializable) to do the serializing for you; it could specify the array type and include the necessary methods to read and write the array. Or you could have the array (whose type implements Serializable) and the methods included in another class. This is speculation: I have never tried these.

Ok thanks. What I understood is that if we have an Array of a type A (where A can be Integer, String etc), and A implements Serializable, then it can also be serialized.

I will try this.

It worked. I tried serializing an int array it worked. Thanks.
