Re: Problem using serializable coding

Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import Employee;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import Employee;

The problem is with import Employee; --- you can't import classes from the same package without at least giving the package name/whatever.

Just remove import Employee; and you should be fine. As long as the classes are in the same directory/package, they're automatically available to one another.

Re: Problem using serializable coding

It is frowned upon to place classes in the "main" or "default" or "unnamed" package. And this is one of the problems that arise from that. Place each of these classes into a package, then import package.Employee and everything will be okay. Also, if they are in the same package, you don't need the import statement, at all.

Part of the problem, is tht they are not in a package at all.
