Hi Aaron, You could change the signature of put() methods...
public void put(Object name, Object obj) to public void put(Serializable name, Serializable obj) That way only objects implementing the Serializable interface could be cached. It would not account for non-serializable objects referenced by the main object however and it might not look user-friendly to developers unfamiliar with serialization.
