I have a *very* rough prototype up [1]. It adds two new accessor
methods to `ReflectionFactory`: `defaultReadObjectForSerialization`
and `defaultWriteObjectForSerialization`. It was easier than expected,
due largely to the classfile API, which is really nice.
These methods create an artificial `readObject`/`writeObject` method
in a hidden+nestmate class connected to the original class, which uses
the stream's `GetField`/`PutField` to access the stream data and
normal field operations to access the class fields. For usage, these
methods can be used when `read|writeObjectForSerialization` return
`null`, *or* when `defaultRead|WriteObject` is used.
Good to hear you've got a prototype to discuss. I don't think I can look
at what you have in your own repo but I do have a question. Do the
defaultXXX methods return a method handle or do they fail/null when
there are read/writeObject methods? Asking if they will bypass these
methods.
