I have shared my experience with Serialization in java in this blog
post it contains some of good Serialization questions asked during a
senior or mid junior level interview for Java. I hope this would be
useful. Please contribute any question which I have not covered and
worthy to share with community.

Thanks

How good can your experience be if you cannot even spell "Java" correctly, 
either in your post or your blog?  Jesus Christ, man!

Also, since you it's the top /ten/ questions, then the word "question" in your 
posts should be plural: "questions".

I recommend that people avoid your advice.  I reviewed your site, and it's 
nothing but advice on how to fail the interview.  It is a paean of ignorance 
and misinformation.  It is, in a word, utter crap.

> post it contains some of good Serialization questions asked during a

What is a "good Serialization question", please?

> senior or mid junior level interview for Java. I hope this would be
> useful. Please contribute any question which I have not covered and
> worthy to share with community.

Here are some questions and comments:

- Could you please have someone who knows grammar and spelling proofread your 
site?  From the very first sentence it is utterly painful to read.

- Only a few "commercial project [sic]", according to you, use Java 
serialization (only you call it "java serialization") for their "persistence 
requirement".  Do you know of any that do?

- In big bold letters you proclaim, "Java serialization is the process which 
is used to serialize object in java by storing object’s state into a file with 
extension .ser ...".  That is flat-out wrong.

- You make statements like, "This is most [sic] frequently asked question in 
java [sic] serialization interview."  Based on what evidence do you say that?

- Why do you give a wrong answer to that?

- What the heck is a "Java serialization interview"?

- "Serializable interface exists in java.lang package ..."  Dude!  How can you 
live with yourself?  CHECK YOUR SIMPLE FACTS AT LEAST!

It's in the 'java.io' package, you, you, ... sputter!

- "SerialVersionUID [sic] is a public static final constant ..."  Once again, 
wrong.

- "... if you don't want any field to be part of object's state then declare 
it either static or transient based on your need and it will not be included 
during java serialization process."  Wow.  "based on your need" gives no help 
to dispel the impression that you have made 'static' and 'transient' equivalent.

- Your advice regarding version changes is confused and incomplete at best. 
For example, the notion that serialization support commits the maintainer to 
another public interface is nowhere mentioned.

In summary, if your blog were part of a Java programming job application, you 
would not get hired.

I suggest you study in particular Joshua Bloch's advice about serialization in 
/Effective Java/, <http://java.sun.com/docs/books/effective/>, to fill in the 
gaps in your knowledge.

Your post entitled, "Difference between HashMap and HashTable [sic]? Can we 
make hashmap [sic] synchronized?" is even worse.

You need to stop representing yourself as a source of Java advice.  It's 
fraudulent.

The worst bit is that there are thousands and thousands more just the same 
lined up behind him. Mostly worse, in fact. This is why for many 
questions, google is no longer our friend - because all it does is offer 
us the output of these guys.

Even worse: Google and the like are at least in part responsible for 
this development.  Today many people seem to believe that knowledge and 
their own reasoning are less needed or even obsolete because of search 
engines.  I know school teachers who, on a regular basis, report that 
their pupils deliver a printout of some obscure web site for a homework 
assignment and are even surprised that their teachers immediately spot 
the fake (easy if you have but the slightest feeling for language).

Evidently you don't actually *have* any worthwhile experience with 
Serialization to be of any use to anybody else. Your answers to 
questions 3,6,7,9,and 10 contain serious errors and omissions, and the 
entire thing is mis-spelt and grammatically incorrect. I wouldn't accept 
any of this from an interviewee.

It's also curious that your 'top 10' list contains 13 items. #13 merely 
repeats #4.

Fail.

Even if it were all grammatically correct, and error-free, what's the
value of the post? Zero - there's nothing there that you don't get from
official Sun/Oracle documentation, and the official documentation
doesn't obscure this information.

Some great blogs out there do nothing but rework existing material,
adding no information but vastly improving the organization and
presentation. I'm all for those blogs and articles. This (and others
like it) isn't one of them.

Furthermore, that p*ssy "buddy s" (Javin Paul) didn't even have the cojones to 
post my comments to his blog, presumably because they were hardly laudatory. 
He's a fraud and a poseur and a coward, and worst of all, no programmer. Fie, 
Javin Paul, fie!
