ObjectInputValidation
This class allows an object to validate that it is valid after
deserialization has run completely for it and all dependent objects.
This allows an object to determine if it is invalid even if all
state data was correctly deserialized from the stream. It can also
be used to perform re-initialization type activities on an object
after it has been completely deserialized.
Since this method functions as a type of callback, it must be
registered through
ObjectInputStream.registerValidation
in order to be invoked. This is typically done in the
readObject method.

public void validateObject()
This method is called to validate an object after serialization
is complete. If the object is invalid an exception is thrown.
Throws: InvalidObjectException If the object is invalid
