File attribute in a serialized Object.

[Santosh Kumar Nayak]

In a class which is implementing Serializable Interface there exists an attribute of a File type.

How do we handle such attribute ?

Sorry but I don't understand what your problem is, can you provide more detail.
For example: Is your problem specifically to do with serialization? what do you mean "How do we handle such attribute"?

The object to be serialized has an attribute as File type.

I don't really understand your problem since class java.io.File is serializable so an attribute of type File will be serialised when the containing class is serialised !

Remember that a File is just an abstract representation of a file/directory pathname.
The File class already overrides writeObject and readObject to make the path system independent when serializing and de-serializing on different systems.
