There are three formats of serialization
Binary Serialization : Light and compact used in Remoting
SOAP Serialization : interoperable use SOAP and used in web Services
XML Serialization : Custom Serialization
XML Serialization
For XML serialization, you need to use the attributes and specify them for each and every public member that you need. But since it is limited that it can serialize only public members, Serization done by it is called custom serialization. It is also known as Shallow Serialization
SOAP and Binary Serialization
XML serializes only public members of the class. You use SOAP or Binary serialization when you need to transport data across the network. SOAP sends it using HTTP Protocol which makes it most interoperable while Binary serialization is known for its light and compact nature. Web Services uses the SOAP Serialization and Remoting uses the Binary Serialization. Infact Serialization is always necessary when you need the object to transfer across a network. Advantage of using the SOAP or Binary serialization is that you can serialize the entire object and all those object that are being refrenced by it. This is why it is also called Deep Serialization. If you want any class to serialize through any of these methods then you should use [Serializable] attribute on that class and then you can use the SoapFormater class or BinaryFormatter class to do the serialization. These classes have Serialize and DeSerialize method. If you will not use SerializableAttribute for the class, then it will raise the exception.
Though this is the easiest way but at time you need the way so that you can decide what fields to serialize and how the serialization actually occurs. You can implement the ISerializable interface in the class. You need two things for that
A small example below illustrate this all.
public class Employee :ISerializable
{
private int emp_no;
private string name;
protected TestData(SerializationInfo info,StreamingContext context)
{
this.emp_no = info.GetInt32("emp_no");
this.name = info.GetString("name");
}
void ISerializable.GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info,
StreamingContext context)
{
info.AddValue("emp_no", this.emp_no);
info.AddValue("name", this.name);
}
}
}
Gun Control Act of 1968 required all firearms to be serialized
Primary purpose of java serialization is to write an object into a stream, so that it can be transported through a network and that object can be rebuilt again. When there are two different parties involved, you need a protocol to rebuild the exact same object again. Java serialization API just provides you that. Other ways you can leverage the feature of serialization is, you can use it to perform a deep copy. Why I used 'primary purpose' in the above definition is, sometimes people use java serialization as a replacement for database. Just a placeholder where you can persist an object across sessions. This is not the primary purpose of java serialization. Sometimes, people say that java serialization is used for storing (to preserve the state) an object and retrieving it. They use it synonymously with database. This is a wrong perception for serialization.
De-serialization is the opposite process of serialization. This is the process where we convert data that has already been written out onto a stream as part of serialization into Java objects.

There are several ways to find a working pigeon deterrent. One can try a bird net, bird spikes, bird control wire, bird shock and a flight diverter. There are many ways that can be used at the Bird Busters website.
There are many other ways to accomplish that,but a net will certainly do the job.
