Ulrich Kreher updated DIRMINA-822:
----------------------------------

A rather simple patch but it works at least for our scenario.

> 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.
