You use thetransient
keyword to indicate to the Java virtual machine that the indicated variable is not part of the persistent state of the object. Variables that are part of the persistent state of an object must be saved when the object is archived.At this time, the
transient
marker is ignored by the Java runtime system. Future releases of the Java system will use thetransient
marker to implement various object archiving functions.Like other variable modifiers in the Java system, you use
transient
in a class or instance variable declaration like this:This statement declares an integer variable namedclass TransientExample { transient int hobo; . . . }hobo
that is not part of the persistent state of the TransientExample class.
