Question

Answer 1

The serialVersionUID is also serialized in this case.

Any static variable that is provided a value during class initialization is serialized.

However in normal cases, where you would provide the value to a static variable at the main class / run-time would not be serialized.

You can try to access the serialVersionUID by making it public and try to access it after deserialization.

You can refer "http://javabeginnerstutorial.com/core-java-tutorial/transient-vs-static-variable-java/" for more information.

Hope that helps. Cheers !!
