                   {
                       out.writeBoolean(false);

   Why can you not be more succinct? You would be making just one null check 
here instead of twice (and 2 null checks in total instead of 4). Same style 
should be applied everywhere. 
   
   I prefer the style when I do the stuff based on what state some variable is 
of. Not that I am doing a logic and then I am trying to retrofit what goes in 
there, because you will be checking for null twice, for example. This is a 
trivial example but if you can just check for nullity once, why would you do it 
repeatedly? Start with easy comparision first, do not "invert it". Because then 
you need to invert the condition in your head as well as you read it. The 
snippet I wrote above just can not be easier on eyes and code-flow-wise.
