Complex is not currently a final class, but if there are no use-cases
for it to be extended it could be made so, and one could then use the
"defensive readResolve" idiom (Effective Java item 57):
private Object readResolve(){
return new Complex(real, imaginary);
}
This would still work even if Complex remained non-final, however
sub-classes could potentially subvert the deserialisation by
overriding the readResolve. Maybe that is a proce worth paying.
The above code might be slightly slower than using reflection (or
maybe not), but it will always work regardless of security managers.
