Body
There's a nice description in the last section of Josh Bloch's Effective Java, Second Edition. Suppose you have a class <code>A</code> that you would like to make serializable. You first declare it to implement <code>Serializable</code>. Then you use the serialization method <code>writeReplace()</code> to return a so-called "serialization proxy" that will be serialized in place of the instance of <code>A</code>. The <code>writeReplace()</code> method does not need to be public. The default serialization on <code>A</code> never gets invoked, so all of the API properites of <code>A</code> may be maintained. Typically, the proxy is implemented as a private static nested class that itself must implement <code>Serializable</code> (or <code>Externalizable</code> for complete control of the read/write process). Because the proxy is private, its implementation details, such as having a no-arg constructor and being mutable, will be hidden. The proxy stores enough of the state of the original object to write so that it can reconstitute the object on deserialization. On deserialization, the proxy uses the method <code>readResolve()</code> to return an instance of <code>A</code>. For singletons, this can be the singleton instance itself. I wrote up a detailed blog entry with examples, <a href="http://lingpipe-blog.com/2009/08/10/serializing-immutable-singletons-serialization-proxy/" rel="noreferrer">Serializing Immutables and Singletons with a Serialization Proxy</a>.

1. COI was wondering if the serialization proxy could be Externalizable. The book only mentions Serializable. Thanks!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
