I have a class say Dog which is implementing an interface Animal which has 5 constant variable . Now I am serializing this dog object and sending it to the other server say server B.

In Server B , I have same dog class but the animal class has an extra constant field so the total constant is 6

As per my understanding I should not be able to cast the incoming dog object to the dog ref in server B . But I am testing it and it is working fine .

Could anyone explain me this

Now

If it is a Constant, it doesnt has to be in the serialized object, because data inside of the serialized object cannot change constants, because they are CONSTANT. – B. Kemmer Jul 28 '16 at 07:27
So we are saying if that wouldn't have been a constant , then it could have given de-serialization issue – Programmer Jul 28 '16 at 07:34
of course, it would – B. Kemmer Jul 28 '16 at 07:50
