-title: 'Java Object Serialization Specification: B - Exceptions In Object Serialization'
----
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-All exceptions thrown by serialization classes are subclasses of
-`ObjectStreamException` which is a subclass of `IOException`.
-
-### `ObjectStreamException`
-
-Superclass of all serialization exceptions.
-
-### `InvalidClassException`
-
-Thrown when a class cannot be used to restore objects for any of these reasons:
-
-- The class does not match the serial version of the class in the stream.
-- The class contains fields with invalid primitive data types.
-- The `Externalizable` class does not have a public no-arg constructor.
-- The `Serializable` class can not access the no-arg constructor of its
- closest non-Serializable superclass.
-
-### `NotSerializableException`
-
-Thrown by a `readObject` or `writeObject` method to terminate serialization or
-deserialization.
-
-### `StreamCorruptedException`
-
-Thrown:
-
-- If the stream header is invalid.
-- If control information not found.
-- If control information is invalid.
-- JDK 1.1.5 or less attempts to call `readExternal` on a `PROTOCOL_VERSION_2`
- stream.
-
-### `NotActiveException`
-
-Thrown if `writeObject` state is invalid within the following
-`ObjectOutputStream` methods:
-
-- `defaultWriteObject`
-- `putFields`
-- `writeFields`
-
-Thrown if `readObject` state is invalid within the following
-`ObjectInputStream` methods:
-
-- `defaultReadObject`
-- `readFields`
-- `registerValidation`
-
-### `InvalidObjectException`
-
-Thrown when a restored object cannot be made valid.
-
-### `OptionalDataException`
-
-Thrown by `readObject` when there is primitive data in the stream and an object
-is expected. The length field of the exception indicates the number of bytes
-that are available in the current block.
-
-### `WriteAbortedException`
-
-Thrown when reading a stream terminated by an exception that occurred while the
-stream was being written.
