title: monitoring java serialization
body: <p>Which tool can be used to trace the serialization process, the order in which fields are serialized? </p>
  
  <p>I have two alternative class hierarchies. The fields are the same but in one case an object declares them directly, in the other, it is done in base class. Then, the field is not serialized. I want to know why. The extended serialization debug info does nothing.</p>
  
  <p>PS! There is no SerializationExeption. Everything is working smoothely. I just want to know why field is serialized in one case but not the other.</p>
