Question

When I instantiate an object from a class, an object is saved in the java heap. When I save the object by serializing it and I later deserialize the object, do I understand corr

Answer 1

No,Simple answer is that deserialized object will not be the same instance in memory ! It will allocate new memory for same.Also go through http://www.javalobby.org/java/forums/t17491.html link which contains example of retrieving object using deserialization with singleton !Also go through readResolve() method in depth, it will be helpful in some cases.
