You can use the transient keyword in a class to mark un-serializable members so that the rest of the class is serializable. For example, if your class had a variable

private Connection conn;

your class would not be serializable because the sql Connection class isn't. So you do this:

private transient Connection conn;

I don't see anything regarding serialization that talks about a possibility to mark members as transient. Would you happen to have references Thomas?

Can't you also mark your members as transient if you don't want them
serialized?  So shouldn't a combination of Serializable and transient
properties also meet the requirement for serializing the object itself?
Just curious if anyone is even using the transient keyword...
