Description
Serialization Filtering introduces a new mechanism which allows incoming streams of object-serialization data to be filtered in order to improve both security and robustness.
Every ObjectInputStream applies a filter, if configured, to the stream contents during deserialization.
Filters are set using either a system property or a configured security property.
The value of the "jdk.serialFilter" patterns are described in [JEP 290 Serialization Filtering](http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/290) and in <JRE>/lib/security/java.security. 
Filter actions are logged to the 'java.io.serialization' logger, if enabled.
