I've looked at that code but for the life of me I can't understand what it is attempting to validate. The size seems to be calculated by incrementing a counter everyting NoopOutputStream's write method is called. My guess is that this is an attempt to determine the length of the serialized data. The trouble is, when I changed the output stream to a FileOutputStream and serialized the object to it then size of the file was not even close to the value returned by NoopOutputStream's size method.  Is that what is being attempted here? What is the real value in limiting the size? When I looked at the test the limit on the first test is 60 while the actual is 58. With the Message object replacing the message string and parameters the value is now 68.

Once again, I would appreciate feedback on this. I would especially value your input Joern since the move to using a Message was your idea.
