Serialization of anonymous class in Java

Question

Is it possible to searialize/desearialize anonymous class in Java?

Example:

ByteArrayOutputStream operationByteArrayStream = new ByteArrayOutputStrea         


        

Answer 1

It is possible, by dangerous. The name/number of anonymous classes is generated by the compiler and is based on the order they appear in the file. e.g. if you swap the order of two classes, their names will swap as well. (Classes are deserialized by name)
