Serializing objects in J2ME

[furrbie]

I have a desktop application which saves an object (where the class implements Serializable interface in J2SE) to a file.

I wish to do the same for my mobile application but I have not been able to find an equivalent interface for J2ME.

I need a way such that the object that has been saved by either the desktop application (J2SE) or the mobile application (J2ME) can be recovered by each other.

Short of implementing my own interface, is there a solution to my problem?

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunatelly the J2ME is not supporting object serializing directly, as the J2SE.

However, you always can store object-related data either in RMS or in files, and recreate the state of the object after.

Here is a nice example of storing game scores in RMS (and extracting them back): http://java.sun.com/javame/reference...e-summary.html

Hi,
J2me doesnt support serialization as my friend told,but it is possible to implement custom serialization.
Thanks

The data mapping implemented in the following URL may help.

PS:Take a note of "fromByteArray" and "toByteArray" methods in the URL.

You can refer to http://floggy.sourceforge.net/index.html
In this project they are saving and restoring Objects in J2me it might help you.
