Is it possible to serialize anonymous class without outer class?

Question

The answer is no. You cannot do that since Inner class will need outer class to be serialized. Also you would run into troubles when you'd try to call the instance method of the outer class within the inner class. Why don't you just have another top level class which you could send?
