/**
 * An encoder which serializes a Java object into a {@link ByteBuf}
 * (interoperability version).
 * 
 * This encoder is interoperable with the standard Java object streams such as
 * {@link ObjectInputStream} and {@link ObjectOutputStream}.
 * 
 * Security: serialization can be a security liability,
 * and should not be used without defining a list of classes that are
 * allowed to be desirialized. Such a list can be specified with the
 * jdk.serialFilter system property, for instance.
 * See the 
 * serialization filtering article for more information.
 *
 * @deprecated This class has been deprecated with no replacement,
 * because serialization can be a security liability
