Deserialising classes that do not implement Serializable fails
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DIRMINA-822
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-822
             Project: MINA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.0.2
            Reporter: Ulrich Kreher


AbstractIoBuffer uses ObjectStreamClass.lookup(Class) which returns null for 
classes that do not implement Serializable. This in turn leads to a 
NullPointerException a few lines below in resolveClass(ObjectStreamClass) where 
the ObjectStreamClass-parameter is null.
Deserialising a non-serialisable class is completely legal, instances of such a 
class will already fail to serialise so they will never get to deserialisation.

Using ObjectStreamClass.lookupAny(Class) will solve this issue, but it is not 
available before Java 6.
