Java 17: implementing Serialization of Records with Custom Serialization Logic
I'm testing a new approach and I'm deploying to production and I'm using Java 17 and I'm working with issues when attempting to serialize a record that includes custom serialization logic. My record looks something like this: ```java import java.io.Serializable; import java.io.ObjectOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; public record User(String name, int age) implements Serializable { private void writeObject(ObjectOutputStream oos) throws IOException { oos.defaultWriteObject(); oos.writeInt(age + 1); // Custom serialization logic } } ``` When I try to serialize an instance of `User`, I get the following behavior: ``` java.io.NotSerializableException: java.lang.Record ``` I tried to tackle this by making sure my record implements `Serializable`, but the behavior continues. I also verified that the `ObjectOutputStream` is being used correctly, and I have a corresponding `readObject` method to handle the custom deserialization: ```java private void readObject(ObjectInputStream ois) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException { ois.defaultReadObject(); age = ois.readInt() - 1; // Corresponding logic } ``` Despite this, the serialization process fails. I've looked into whether records have any special requirements or restrictions regarding serialization but couldn't find relevant info. Could anyone provide insights into how to properly serialize records with custom serialization logic in Java 17? I'm also curious if there are best practices here, especially considering records are immutable by design. Thanks in advance! I recently upgraded to Java LTS. Thanks, I really appreciate it! I'm working on a mobile app that needs to handle this. What's the correct way to implement this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
