What’s the deal with serialVersionUID?
Java.net asks a (not so) stupid question: What’s the deal with serialVersionUID? Well, if you want to de-/serialize Java objects in different JVMs (e.g. when sending classes via JMS to other JVMs) it might be interesting for you. These articles provide some insight:
- Article on Javaworld
- Article including samples by Patrick Holthuizen.
- In-depth article by Sun.
If you read (and understand) all this stuff, you won’t end up in ClassCastExceptions, etc.
