How do static and final field modifiers affect serializability in Java?

Fields marked with the static modifier are not serialized. They belong to the class itself, not to a specific instance of the object, and are not stored as part of the serializable object's state.

Fields marked with the final modifier are serialized as regular fields. Their value is saved along with the rest of the object's state.

Exception: if a final field is also static, it is not serialized.
