In this blog post, I look at some simple examples of lightweight persistence with Java serialization. The first code listing is a simple example of persisting data to a serialized file using Java ...

In this Java serialization example, we will use both the ObjectOutputStream and the ObjectInputStream to save and retrieve the state of a simple JavaBean. The POJO will be serialized and deserialized ...

Traditional Java serialization has several nasty limitations ... For example, you can configure the NIO (Non-blocking IO) file system that underlies the read/write operations within the file ...

The Ruby programming language is impacted by a similar "deserialization issue" that has affected and wreaked havoc in the Java ecosystem in 2016; an issue that later also proved to be a problem ...

The vulnerability is part of a class of bugs that stem from Java object deserialization and which security researchers have warned about a year ago. In programming languages, serialization is the ...
