   ### Search before asking
   
   - [x] I had searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/fury/issues) 
and found no similar issues.
   
   
   ### Version
   
   fury 0.10.0
   
   ### Component(s)
   
   Java
   
   ### Minimal reproduce step
   
   1. Create a class Lucy with final modifier, containing an Integer and an int.
   2. Create another class Sam containing a List<Lucy>.
   3. Serialize an instance of Sam using Apache Fury.
   4. Attempt to deserialize the byte array back to an object.
   
   ```java
   import org.apache.fury.Fury;
   import org.apache.fury.Language;
   
   import java.util.ArrayList;
   import java.util.List;
   
   public class Main {
       final public static class Lucy {
           Integer i;
           int j;
   
           Lucy(Integer i, int j) {
               this.i = i;
               this.j = j;
           }
       }
   
       public static class Sam {
           List<Lucy> a = new ArrayList<>();
   
           Sam() {
               this.a.add(new Lucy(1, 2));
               this.a.add(new Lucy(3, 4));
           }
       }
   
       public static void main(String[] args) {
           Sam sam = new Sam();
           Fury fury = Fury.builder()
                   .withLanguage(Language.XLANG)
                   .withRefTracking(true)
                   .ignoreBasicTypesRef(true)
                   .ignoreTimeRef(true)
                   .ignoreStringRef(false)
                   .build();
           fury.register(Lucy.class, "Lucy1");
           fury.register(Sam.class, "Sam1");
           byte[] bytes = fury.serialize(sam);
           Object it = fury.deserialize(bytes);
           System.out.println(it);
       }
   }
   ```
   
   
   ### What did you expect to see?
   
   I expected the object to be deserialized successfully without any exceptions.
   
   ### What did you see instead?
   
   I encountered the following exception during deserialization:
   
   ```bash
   Exception in thread "main" org.apache.fury.exception.InsecureException: 
class org.apache.fury.Main$Lucy is not registered, please check whether it's 
the type you want to serialize or a **vulnerability**. If safe, you should 
invoke `Fury#register` to register class,  which will have better performance 
by skipping classname serialization. If your env is 100% secure, you can also 
avoid this exception by disabling class registration check using 
`FuryBuilder#requireClassRegistration(false)`

        at org.apache.fury.Fury.serialize(Fury.java:276)
        at org.apache.fury.Main.main(Main.java:357)
   ```
   
   However, when I removed the final modifier from the `Lucy` class, the error 
disappeared.
   
   Upon reviewing the code, I found that in the 
`AbstractCollectionSerializer::xwriteElements` method, the check for 
`elemGenericType.isMonomorphic()` leads to this issue. The fury considers final 
classes as Monomorphic, which causes it to execute Serializer `elemSerializer = 
elemGenericType.getSerializer(fury.getClassResolver());`. However, 
`fury.getClassResolver()` cannot find the information for the Lucy class 
because, in XLANG mode, registered classes are located in `XtypeResolver`, not 
`ClassResolver`. This results in Fury believing that `Lucy` has not been 
registered, leading to the exception.
   
   ### Anything Else?
   
   Additionally, I have some thoughts about the use of isMonomorphic() and the 
assumptions surrounding the final keyword. It seems that determining if a class 
is monomorphic based solely on it being final can be somewhat problematic, 
especially in communication between two systems.
   
   For instance, just because a class is marked as final on one end, it may not 
hold true on the other. Considering that final implies the class won't be 
subclassed, Fury might decide to skip writing out the MetaString that 
identifies the specific class.
   
   However, there might be cases where systems have classes with identical 
fields but differing in their finality or inheritance structures.
   
   Take, for example, a situation where class A is final on one end, and thus 
it chooses not to serialize the MetaString. On the receiving end, there's a 
class B with the same fields as A, but it isn't final. Here, Fury would 
typically expect to read a MetaString first before resolving the class.
   
   This discrepancy could potentially lead to inconsistencies if one system 
assumes a class is non-inheritable due to its final designation, while the 
other anticipates normal class inheritance and serialization strategies.
   
   Thus, relying on the final status of a class to manage serialization 
behaviors may create issues when there's no guaranteed consistency in how 
classes are structured or expected on both communicating ends.
