021/**
022 * The <code>InstantiationException</code> is thrown when an object
023 * cannot be instantiated either because it is an abstract class or an
024 * interface. Such a situation can arise if a serializable field is an 
025 * abstract type and a suitable concrete class cannot be found. Also,
026 * if an override type is not assignable to the field type this is
027 * thrown, for example if an XML element list is not a collection.
