Serialization of an Object containing an opened database connection

Question

Hi everyone,
My question is simple:
If you serialize an object containing an active databse connection, will it be de-serialized with that connection active and ready to use?

Answer 1

First of all, lets look at the purpose. what is that
making you write an object which hold the Connection
object to a network or to the file.
First check the condition. The conditions for
serialization are
1) Connection object should not be declared as
transiant.
2) And it should not be as static.
It the above conditions are meet then the it is
serializable.
Now the obejct holding the connection object is
written to the file or over the n/w.
Reading
Case 1 ) You read from the file at the server end no
issues. You can reconstruct the Connection object and
use it.
case 2) If you are writing to the n/w , your client
is some where in Aus and the java server the db
server are in US. Java Server being public and db
server being local to the Java Server , how you
would use the connection object to execute the querys
on that DB.
Think about this :).Hi,
Are n't you missing the whole point here? What you've said above is valid , of course, but then your readObject/writeObject methods would take care of restoring the connection object (from wherever) if such an implementation is taken up. IMHO, such an implementation is not practical in the first place, and if it's required in your project, it's bad design.
