ObjectEncoder Decoder fails with Object containing Object[]

[neilson9]

Hi All,
Firstly, thankyou for developing this framework - Ive have used quite a few
in the past and netty is easy to use, has a great API and extremely fast!

I have 2 questions,
1) Does an Object passes using the ObjectEncoder/Decoder have to implement
Serializable? - is there a switch to disable the check?

2) Ive just been looking at passing through messages using the
ObjectDecoder, ObjectEncoder and have found that if any message contains an
field Object[] i.e. below. Is there something Im missing ? Im trying to
proxy a data payload to the server without having to use other forms of
serialization.

class MyClass {
Object[] stuff 
}

then it fails with the following message.
