If you want a method like public void doSomething  Object implements Serializable   you can just type it like this public void doSomething Serializable serializableObject   You can now pass it any object that implements Serializable but using the serializableObject you only have access to the methods implemented in the object from the Serializable interface

For an instance  Character Gorgon gor   new Character Gorgon      Then do  gor instanceof Monster   For a Class instance do  Class lt   gt  clazz   Character Gorgon class  Monster class isAssignableFrom clazz
