11 - Example with transient (1)

What is the content of an int that was transient after the object is deserialized ?


public class Main implements Serializable {
  
    int a=5;
    transient int b=7;

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("Main.ser"));
        Main aMain = new Main();
        System.out.println("" + aMain.a + aMain.b);
        oos.writeObject(aMain);
        oos.close();
        ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream("Main.ser"));
        aMain = (Main)ois.readObject();
        ois.close();
        System.out.println("" + aMain.a + aMain.b);
    }
}

As you can see the variable that is transient is assigned the integer zero.
