I know that with some serialisation frameworks this just works transparently, because the framework 'bakes' the concrete classname into the representation at runtime, but gives you back a reference to the type you're expecting. Some frameworks allow you do write serialize/deserialize hooks to do this as well. Generics add a bit more complexity.
