考虑使用自定义的序列化形式.jpeg

// Awful candidate for default serialized form
public final class StringList implements Serializable {
    private int size = 0;
    private Entry head = null;
    private static class Entry implements Serializable {
        String data;
        Entry next;
        Entry previous;
    }
    ... // Remainder omitted
}

改进后

// StringList with a reasonable custom serialized form
public final class StringList implements Serializable {
    private transient int size = 0;
    private transient Entry head = null;
    // No longer Serializable!
    private static class Entry {
        String data;
        Entry next;
        Entry previous;
    }
    // Appends the specified string to the list
    public final void add(String s) { ... }
    /**
    * Serialize this {@code StringList} instance.
    *
    * @serialData The size of the list (the number of strings
    * it contains) is emitted ({@code int}), followed by all of
