public interface DeserializationChecker {
    
Will be called to check a descriptor.
This method may be called 2 times, the first time is when a descriptor is read
from the stream, the second is just before creating an object described
by this descriptor.

Params:
  • method – the method invoked from a remote request.
  • descriptor – The descriptor of the class of any object deserialised while deserialising the parameter. The first descriptor will be that of the top level object (the concrete class of the parameter itself); Subsequent calls with the same method, paramIndex and callID will correspond to objects contained in the parameter.
  • paramIndex – an index indicates the position of a parameter in the method. This index will be reused for deserialising all objects contained in the parameter object. For example, the parameter being deserialised is a List, all deserialisation calls for its elements will have same index.
  • callID – a unique ID identifying one
time method invocation, the same ID is used for deserialization call of
all parameters within the method.

Params:
