Serialization and backing object

[anieshuk]

Hai users

I am having a small doubt.I have implemented serializable in my bean.Is it necessary to implement it.Then the value of the data in the bean is maintained until the next submit.What is the problem.Should i reinitialized them all in the backing object.

Thanks

If you are storing "simple" objects (Strings, Double etc.) then there is no need.

If you are storing references to "services" etc. then yes, you probably should.

Unless you know *when* and *if* and more importantly *why* you are going to be serialised you shouldn't really be implementing Serialisable.
