There are a couple of points to address here: 1) Suppose C ...

4. Best Practices for Serializing Subclass whose Superclass is NOT Serializable coderanch.com

import java.io.*; class Player{ Player(){System.out.print("p");} } class CardPlayer extends Player implements Serializable{ CardPlayer(){System.out.print("c");} public static void main(String[] args){ CardPlayer c1 = new CardPlayer(); try{ FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("play.txt"); ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(fos); os.writeObject(c1); os.close(); FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("play.txt"); ObjectInputStream is = new ObjectInputStream(fis); CardPlayer c2 = (CardPlayer) is.readObject(); is.close(); }catch(Exception x){} } }
