RFR: [8039396] NPE when writing a class descriptor object to a custom ObjectOutputStream (original) (raw)

Hello everybody!

ObjectStreamClass#forClass() function is allowed to return null, if the local VM does not have the corresponding local class. Because of that, NPE can be encountered during serialization through a subclass of ObjectOutputStream.

Would you please help review the fix?
