Google is your friend - first hit - also you might first have a look at what serialization is      It marks a member variable not to be   serialized when it is persisted to   streams of bytes  When an object is   transferred through the network  the   object needs to be  serialized     Serialization converts the object   state to serial bytes  Those bytes are   sent over the network and the object   is recreated from those bytes  Member   variables marked by the java transient   keyword are not transferred  they are   lost intentionally    Example from there  slightly modified  thanks  pgras    public class Foo implements Serializable       private String saveMe     private transient String dontSaveMe     private transient String password
