/**
 * The <code>XMLDecoder</code> class is used to read XML documents 
 * created using the <code>XMLEncoder</code> and is used just like 
 * the <code>ObjectInputStream</code>. For example, one can use 
 * the following fragment to read the first object defined 
 * in an XML document written by the <code>XMLEncoder</code> 
 * class: 
 * <pre>
 *       XMLDecoder d = new XMLDecoder(
 *                          new BufferedInputStream(
 *                              new FileInputStream("Test.xml")));
 *       Object result = d.readObject();
 *       d.close();
 * </pre>
