So, can a method be transient? Three guesses ...

kind regards,

no i guess since it relates to the instance variables which signifies the state of an object and is required to be saved during serialization in order to retain the state???

Yep, correct; transient member variables aren't serialized, that's all there is to it.

kind regards,

Thanks!!
