-## C.1 Example Alternate Implementation of java.io.File
-
-This appendix provides a brief example of how an existing class could be
-specified and implemented to interoperate with the existing implementation but
-without requiring the same assumptions about the representation of the file
-name as a *String*.
-
-The system class `java.io.File` represents a filename and has methods for
-parsing, manipulating files and directories by name. It has a single private
-field that contains the current file name. The semantics of the methods that
-parse paths depend on the current path separator which is held in a static
-field. This path separator is part of the serialized state of a file so that
-file name can be adjusted when read.
-
-The serialized state of a `File` object is defined as the serializable fields
-and the sequence of data values for the file. In this case, there is one of
-each.
-
-```
-Serializable Fields:
-    String path;     // path name with embedded separators
-Serializable Data:
-    char            // path name separator for path name
-```
-
-An alternate implementation might be defined as follows:
-
-```
-class File implements java.io.Serializable {
-    ...
-    private String[] pathcomponents;
-    // Define serializable fields with the ObjectStreamClass
-
-    /**
-     * @serialField path String
-     *              Path components separated by separator.
-     */
-
-    private static final ObjectStreamField[] serialPersistentFields
-        = { new ObjectStreamField("path", String.class) };
-    ...
-        /**
-         * @serialData  Default fields followed by separator character.
-         */
-
-    private void writeObject(ObjectOutputStream s)
-        throws IOException
-    {
-        ObjectOutputStream.PutField fields = s.putFields();
-        StringBuffer str = new StringBuffer();
-        for(int i = 0; i < pathcomponents; i++) {
-            str.append(separator);
-            str.append(pathcomponents[i]);
-        }
-        fields.put("path", str.toString());
-        s.writeFields();
-        s.writeChar(separatorChar); // Add the separator character
-    }
-    ...
-
-    private void readObject(ObjectInputStream s)
-        throws IOException
-    {
-        ObjectInputStream.GetField fields = s.readFields();
-        String path = (String)fields.get("path", null);
-        ...
-        char sep = s.readChar(); // read the previous separator char
-
-        // parse path into components using the separator
-        // and store into pathcomponents array.
-    }
-}
-```
