An ``++Externalizable++`` class is one which handles its own ``++Serialization++`` and deserialization. During deserialization, the first step in the process is a default instantiation using the class' no-argument constructor. Therefore an ``++Externalizable++`` class without a no-arg constructor cannot be deserialized.

|
|
|
public Tomato (String color, int weight) { ... }
