Serializing/Deserializing Singleton class or class with no default or no parameter constructor in java?

Question

Can we serialize/deserialize a Singleton class or class with no default or no parameter constructor in java?

if not what is the way to do it?? will creating a no parameter protected constructor help?

Yes you can. It isn't the `Serializable` class that needs a no-args constructor, it is its nearest non-`Serializable` base class. See the Object Serialization Specification. — user207421, Aug 16 '23 at 23:51

You should create a proxy object for your Singleton and serialize it in the Singleton's stead.

You can read more about proxy serialization here.

This is not necessary. Poor quality third-arty citation. – user207421 Aug 16 '23 at 23:50
