Java Serialization to file

Question

I was just wondering when serializing any object in java to a file using the ObjectOutputStream, do all the methods to it also get serialized or only the data gets stored to the file?

It only saves the objects state, the non-transient fields. — Bhesh Gurung

Serialization is a process of taking object state and transforming it into a format for storage on disk, or sending over the network.

Object state is fully represented by the fields.
