> DefinitionUtil invalidly checks the fields of Interceptor classes to see if they are serializable.  This isn't a requirement of the Interceptor specification.  As well in pure Java serialization terms, there is no requirement that the class types of fields implement Serializable, so a field of say java.lang.Object is OK.  The requirement is that at serialization time that field must point to a serializable instance or be null.  This obviously can only be checked by inspecting instances of a class and cannot be checked statically against the class itself.
