      • getNonSerializableSuperClass

        public static <T> Class<? super T> getNonSerializableSuperClass​(Class<T> type)
        Returns the first non-serializable superclass of a given class. According to Java Object Serialization Specification, objects read from a stream are initialized by calling an accessible no-arg constructor from the first non-serializable superclass in the object's hierarchy, allowing the state of non-serializable fields to be correctly initialized.
        Type Parameters:
        T - Type to instantiate
        Parameters:
        type - Serializable class for which the first non-serializable superclass is to be found
        Returns:
        The first non-serializable superclass of 'type'.
