Hello,
Noticed in the context of doing some other reviews, the spec for the
serialization exception InvalidClassException does not have an
exhaustive and up-date-date listing of the conditions where the
exception in thrown:
JDK-8234781: Update description of InvalidClassException to include
more conditions
Please review the patch below to include the missing condition and add a
catch-all clause to implicitly cover any future changes to the
serialization spec (correct by default, event if not as precise as
possible). This would not preclude making more precise updates of course.
Thanks,
-Joe
