The software contains a serializable data element that does not have an associated serialization method.
This pattern identifies situations where the serializable storable element has no serialization control element in its list of control elements. In case of technologies with class and interface elements, this means situations where the serializable storable element is a class that implements a serializable interface element but does not implement a serialization method element as part of its list composed of method elements. The serializable nature of the element is technology dependent. As examples, serializable nature comes from a serializable SerializableAttribute attribute in .NET and the inheritance from the java.io.Serializable interface in Java.
