Problems in Serialization...

[Dharmenrda kumar]

hi
today i got sample question(for ocjp6) and there was a question regarding Serialization and deserialization...
import java.io.*;
public class A{
public static void main(String arg[]){
B b=new B();
b.x1=7;b.x2=7;b.x3=7;//1
//Serialize b and then deserialize b
System.out.println("x1="+b.x1+"x2="+b.x2+"x3="+b.x3);
}
}

class B implements Serializable{
static int x1=0;
volatile int x2=0;
transient int x3=0;
}
i answered x1=7,x2=7,x3=0
but solution says it should be x1=0,x2=7,x3=0
i am not be able to understand that why x1 is not equal to 7 because at 1, x1 has explicitly initialized with 7.
even i write the complete code then after running still i got x1=7,x2=7,x3=0

serialize and deserialize should be in different class.
note: please search first. this kind of topics discussed many times here in javaranch

sorry i did't got what you want to say...
but the complete code is like...


import java.io.*;
public class A{
public static void main(String arg[]){
B b=new B();
b.x1=7;b.x2=7;b.x3=7;//1
try{
FileOutputStream fs=new FileOutputStream("a.txt");
ObjectOutputStream os=new ObjectOutputStream(fs);
os.writeObject(b);
os.close();
}
catch(Exception e){}
try{
FileInputStream fi=new FileInputStream("a.txt");
ObjectInputStream oi=new ObjectInputStream(fi);
b=(B)oi.readObject();
}
catch(Exception e){}
System.out.println(b.x1+""+b.x2+""+b.x3);
}
}

class B implements Serializable{
static int x1=0;
volatile int x2=0;
transient int x3=0;
}
after running the output is x1=7,x2=7,x3=0
