Serialization is a process of saving the state of an object..State of the object is represented by its fields.It transforms objects into an output format that is conductive for storing. 

If u dont want to store the value of a field during serialization then u have to declare it as transient.

Dafault value of transient depends on the data type of the field.

Hi,

State is nothing but the present values of the class level variables and behaviour (methods) of the class.

Suppose if u r having setters and getters in ur class , when u retrieve the values into the class, just serialize it.

Here all the values of the class will be stored. When ever u deserialize it, u can just call getters of the class. U can get previous values.

serialization -- means saving the state of an object at a particalar instance of time.
transient -- appended before a variable to ensure that the valiable is not saved during serailization
default value -- well, that has nothing to do with serailization, it depends on the data type of the variable
