Top 10 Java Serialization Interview Question

[buddy s]

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.

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.

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!

No offense to cats, the murderous little demons. I love them.

Gosh , I missed this . Thanks to you guys for reading my post and for your comments. What I have seen here is entirely negative attitude I don't mind there was some typo like java.lang one which I have already corrected and It may not be useful for you expert but I do see value for some of guys like me, I do have received some encouraging comments about quality of questions and I think those questions really opens some obscure area of Java Serialization which are normally omitted.

of course those information are available in Sun's website and believe all Java related information are available on sun site but its the way you convey information is better in my opinion. Anyway I don't mind criticism until there is some positive points on that.
