All Implemented Interfaces:

Direct Known Subclasses:

public class SerializableEnumeration
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

This class is a superclass for enumerated types that can be serialized. Subclass like this:

   public class MyEnumeration extends SerializableEnumeration
   {
      private MyEnumeration() {}
      public static final MyEnumeration FOO = new MyEnumeration();
      public static final MyEnumeration BAR = new MyEnumeration();
      . . .
   }
   

This defines instances MyEnumeration.FOO and MyEnumeration.BAR that are guaranteed to be preserved through serialization and deserialization. Conveniently, the toString method yields the name (such as "FOO").
