Serialization and Deserialization of private fields

Question

I have a class in which I have defined all instance variables as private. I don't have getters and setters for all the fields. Now if I have such object after desrialization then how can i access the private instance variables.

Answer 1

You can access them the same way as before: Only inside the instance that is declaring the fields.(*) Nothing changes after serialization and deserialization.

(*) And of course via reflection as you could before.
