/**
 * An ObjectInputStream deserializes primitive data and objects previously
 * written using an ObjectOutputStream.
 * 
 * <p>ObjectOutputStream and ObjectInputStream can provide an application with
 * persistent storage for graphs of objects when used with a FileOutputStream
 * and FileInputStream respectively.  ObjectInputStream is used to recover
 * those objects previously serialized. Other uses include passing objects
 * between hosts using a socket stream or for marshaling and unmarshaling
 * arguments and parameters in a remote communication system.
 *
 * <p>ObjectInputStream ensures that the types of all objects in the graph
 * created from the stream match the classes present in the Java Virtual
 * Machine.  Classes are loaded as required using the standard mechanisms.
 *
 * <p>Only objects that support the java.io.Serializable or
 * java.io.Externalizable interface can be read from streams.
 *
 * <p>The method <code>readObject</code> is used to read an object from the
 * stream.  Java's safe casting should be used to get the desired type.  In
 * Java, strings and arrays are objects and are treated as objects during
 * serialization. When read they need to be cast to the expected type.
 *
 * <p>Primitive data types can be read from the stream using the appropriate
 * method on DataInput.
 * 
 * <p>The default deserialization mechanism for objects restores the contents
 * of each field to the value and type it had when it was written.  Fields
 * declared as transient or static are ignored by the deserialization process.
 * References to other objects cause those objects to be read from the stream
 * as necessary.  Graphs of objects are restored correctly using a reference
 * sharing mechanism.  New objects are always allocated when deserializing,
 * which prevents existing objects from being overwritten.
 *
 * <p>Reading an object is analogous to running the constructors of a new
 * object.  Memory is allocated for the object and initialized to zero (NULL).
 * No-arg constructors are invoked for the non-serializable classes and then
 * the fields of the serializable classes are restored from the stream starting
 * with the serializable class closest to java.lang.object and finishing with
 * the object's most specific class.
 *
 * <p>For example to read from a stream as written by the example in
 * ObjectOutputStream:
 * <br>
 * <pre>
 *	FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("t.tmp");
 *	ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
 *
 *	int i = ois.readInt();
 *	String today = (String) ois.readObject();
 *	Date date = (Date) ois.readObject();
 *
 *	ois.close();
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Classes control how they are serialized by implementing either the
 * java.io.Serializable or java.io.Externalizable interfaces.
 *
 * <p>Implementing the Serializable interface allows object serialization to
 * save and restore the entire state of the object and it allows classes to
 * evolve between the time the stream is written and the time it is read.  It
 * automatically traverses references between objects, saving and restoring
 * entire graphs.
 *
 * <p>Serializable classes that require special handling during the
 * serialization and deserialization process should implement the following
 * methods:<p>
 * 
 * <pre>
 * private void writeObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream stream)
 *     throws IOException;
 * private void readObject(java.io.ObjectInputStream stream)
 *     throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException; 
 * private void readObjectNoData() 
 *     throws ObjectStreamException;
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>The readObject method is responsible for reading and restoring the state
 * of the object for its particular class using data written to the stream by
 * the corresponding writeObject method.  The method does not need to concern
 * itself with the state belonging to its superclasses or subclasses.  State is
 * restored by reading data from the ObjectInputStream for the individual
 * fields and making assignments to the appropriate fields of the object.
 * Reading primitive data types is supported by DataInput.
 *
 * <p>Any attempt to read object data which exceeds the boundaries of the
 * custom data written by the corresponding writeObject method will cause an
 * OptionalDataException to be thrown with an eof field value of true.
 * Non-object reads which exceed the end of the allotted data will reflect the
 * end of data in the same way that they would indicate the end of the stream:
 * bytewise reads will return -1 as the byte read or number of bytes read, and
 * primitive reads will throw EOFExceptions.  If there is no corresponding
 * writeObject method, then the end of default serialized data marks the end of
 * the allotted data.
 *
 * <p>Primitive and object read calls issued from within a readExternal method
 * behave in the same manner--if the stream is already positioned at the end of
 * data written by the corresponding writeExternal method, object reads will
 * throw OptionalDataExceptions with eof set to true, bytewise reads will
 * return -1, and primitive reads will throw EOFExceptions.  Note that this
 * behavior does not hold for streams written with the old
 * <code>ObjectStreamConstants.PROTOCOL_VERSION_1</code> protocol, in which the
 * end of data written by writeExternal methods is not demarcated, and hence
 * cannot be detected.
 *
 * <p>The readObjectNoData method is responsible for initializing the state of
 * the object for its particular class in the event that the serialization
 * stream does not list the given class as a superclass of the object being
 * deserialized.  This may occur in cases where the receiving party uses a
 * different version of the deserialized instance's class than the sending
 * party, and the receiver's version extends classes that are not extended by
 * the sender's version.  This may also occur if the serialization stream has
 * been tampered; hence, readObjectNoData is useful for initializing
 * deserialized objects properly despite a "hostile" or incomplete source
 * stream.
 * 
 * <p>Serialization does not read or assign values to the fields of any object
 * that does not implement the java.io.Serializable interface.  Subclasses of
 * Objects that are not serializable can be serializable. In this case the
 * non-serializable class must have a no-arg constructor to allow its fields to
 * be initialized.  In this case it is the responsibility of the subclass to
 * save and restore the state of the non-serializable class. It is frequently
 * the case that the fields of that class are accessible (public, package, or
 * protected) or that there are get and set methods that can be used to restore
 * the state.
 *
 * <p>Any exception that occurs while deserializing an object will be caught by
 * the ObjectInputStream and abort the reading process.
 *
 * <p>Implementing the Externalizable interface allows the object to assume
 * complete control over the contents and format of the object's serialized
 * form.  The methods of the Externalizable interface, writeExternal and
 * readExternal, are called to save and restore the objects state.  When
 * implemented by a class they can write and read their own state using all of
 * the methods of ObjectOutput and ObjectInput.  It is the responsibility of
 * the objects to handle any versioning that occurs.
 *
 * <p>Enum constants are deserialized differently than ordinary serializable or
 * externalizable objects.  The serialized form of an enum constant consists
 * solely of its name; field values of the constant are not transmitted.  To
 * deserialize an enum constant, ObjectInputStream reads the constant name from
 * the stream; the deserialized constant is then obtained by calling the static
 * method <code>Enum.valueOf(Class, String)</code> with the enum constant's
 * base type and the received constant name as arguments.  Like other
 * serializable or externalizable objects, enum constants can function as the
 * targets of back references appearing subsequently in the serialization
 * stream.  The process by which enum constants are deserialized cannot be
 * customized: any class-specific readObject, readObjectNoData, and readResolve
 * methods defined by enum types are ignored during deserialization.
 * Similarly, any serialPersistentFields or serialVersionUID field declarations
 * are also ignored--all enum types have a fixed serialVersionUID of 0L.

    /**
     * Unsynchronized table which tracks wire handle to object mappings, as
     * well as ClassNotFoundExceptions associated with deserialized objects.
     * This class implements an exception-propagation algorithm for
     * determining which objects should have ClassNotFoundExceptions associated
     * with them, taking into account cycles and discontinuities (e.g., skipped
     * fields) in the object graph.
     * 
     * <p>General use of the table is as follows: during deserialization, a
     * given object is first assigned a handle by calling the assign method.
     * This method leaves the assigned handle in an "open" state, wherein
     * dependencies on the exception status of other handles can be registered
     * by calling the markDependency method, or an exception can be directly
     * associated with the handle by calling markException.  When a handle is
     * tagged with an exception, the HandleTable assumes responsibility for
     * propagating the exception to any other objects which depend
     * (transitively) on the exception-tagged object.
     * 
     * <p>Once all exception information/dependencies for the handle have been
     * registered, the handle should be "closed" by calling the finish method
     * on it.  The act of finishing a handle allows the exception propagation
     * algorithm to aggressively prune dependency links, lessening the
     * performance/memory impact of exception tracking.
     * 
     * <p>Note that the exception propagation algorithm used depends on handles
     * being assigned/finished in LIFO order; however, for simplicity as well
     * as memory conservation, it does not enforce this constraint.
