Best way to mark an inherited class as NOT serializable

Question

If I inherit from a serializable class, but I do not want my class to be serializable; what's the best way to strictly ban serialization?

If there was a method in java.io.Serializable, maybe I could make an exception, but Serializable is empty.

Answer 1

From the documentation

Serialization of an object can be prevented by implementing the writeObject and readObject methods that raise a NotSerializableException. The exception will depend on the ObjectOutputStream and abort the serialization process.
