Java Tutorial : Java IO (Java Serialization with array or collection)

Employee.java

    public Employee(int id, String name)
    {
        super();
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
    }

    public int getId()
    {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id)
    {

    }

    public void setName(String name)
    {
