/**

|
|
* This class allows an object to validate that it is valid after
|
| 43 |
|
|
* deserialization has run completely for it and all dependent objects.
|
| 44 |
|
|
* This allows an object to determine if it is invalid even if all
|
| 45 |
|
|
* state data was correctly deserialized from the stream. It can also
|
| 46 |
|
|
* be used to perform re-initialization type activities on an object
|
| 47 |
|
|
* after it has been completely deserialized.
|
| 48 |
|
|
*
|
| 49 |
|
|
* Since this method functions as a type of callback, it must be
|
| 50 |
|
|
* registered through <code>ObjectInputStream.registerValidation</code>
|
| 51 |
|
|
* in order to be invoked. This is typically done in the
|
| 52 |
|
|
* <code>readObject</code> method.
