> pls ... give me live example and describe actual use of it

Object serialization is the process of storing the objects i.e., the object gets qualified for the storage into a file by implementing the interface java.io.Serializable....

that is the facility we have with them where u wanna implement them will be in ur hands...

say if u r working with an object and at the end of work if u r just coming out of the program the object with which u have worked up to now will be erased...
so the changes of ur work will not be saved again tomorrow u have to get a fresh object of that and u have to start the work...
instead u can save the working object today and tomorrow u can open and get that object and continue the work .. and need not get a new object and start the work..
i hope u understood

that's it
if u want any clarifications u can contact me

bye
