I am pretty sure that Java calls the default constructor, actually.
Indeed it's a requirement that any serializable class must have one
(implicitly or explicitly).

No this you cannot do. At this point you have no static type
information. You only know it's an Object. So there is no way AspectJ
could make any such decisions statically.
