How to prevent a field being serialized?

[Bill Li]

Suppose I have a class:

public class A {
    private String a;
    private transient String b;

    // getter/setter for a
    // getter/setter for b
}

Event if b is set as transient, but if I set a break point in getter of b,
it is still being hit during serialization. How can I prevent this? I am
using spring 2.5.6, latest stable cxf 2.2.5.

Thanks!
