I want to use JfileChooser to choose a file and writeObject to the selected file or readObject from the selected file. I have serialize my class but I don't know how to serialize this MetalFileChooserUI? Or do I need to do it? Thank you very much.

Can someone help me to find a solution to it? Thank you. My Error message:

What exactly do you want to serialize ? The JFileChooser object itself ? - Costi Ciudatu
Thanks guys, maybe I didn't describe the problem clearly, I use the JFileChooser to get the file I want to save to, then use ObjectOutputStream to write the class which I have serialized to the selected file. The error occurs, I just wondering why it is happening, because the ObjectOutputStream has nothing to do with the JFilechooser. I would like to try transient first. Thanks Costi Ciudatu. :) - wgx731

If you do not actually want to serialize the JFileChooser but you simply have a reference to it in some class of yours (that you need to serialize) make that reference transient so the serialisation process will simply ignore it.

I'm not sure why you would want to serialize a file chooser as what would be the sense in this? I think that your best bet is to not serialize the gui portion of a program but rather the data held in the model (assuming an MVC structure) -- unless you have requirements that we need to know about.
