Deserialized object instance without class definition

In anyone aware of a tool/script/program/whatever to create a java object instance from a binary java serialized object?

I don't have the .class file, so I can't ( afaik ) simply create an ObjectInputStream and load it from there.

This object has the default serialization mechanism, and I'm trying to debug a problem we have.

Anyone?

Create a class with the correct name and serialVersionUID. Implement readObject. Use ObjectInputStream.readFields to get the ObjectInputStrem.GetFields.

There was a rather detailed post about the format in JavaWorld recently... Might be worth reading.
