> The serialization of javax.management.MBeanInfo and
> javax.management.MBeanFeatureInfo instances is asymmetrical in cases
> with no attached descriptor. The descriptor is serialized as an empty
> array but when deserializing the descriptor is not read back at all.
> Currently for RMI this does not pose any problem but the specification
> does not explicitly allow this kind of behaviour and it may cause
> troubles eventually.
>
> The patch just reads back the empty array to keep the
> serialization/deserialization symmetric.
