Description bondolo 2012-02-02 04:26:20 UTC
transient fields are not initialized upon deserialization. This means:

class Foo {
...
transient int bar = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
...
}

will have the value zero rather than Integer.MIN_VALUE upon deserialization unless the field is specifically initialized during the readObject() method.

It's worth pointing out transient fields with initializers as possible errors because users may expect that they will be run for every instance created.
