 * The InstantiationException is thrown when an object
 * cannot be instantiated either because it is an abstract class or an
 * interface. Such a situation can arise if a serializable field is an 
 * abstract type and a suitable concrete class cannot be found. Also,
 * if an override type is not assignable to the field type this is
 * thrown, for example if an XML element list is not a collection.
