Description

In the StringSerializer.writeObject() method, the "getBytes()" call for the String is using the platform default charset instead of the given charset, resulting in possibly incorrect values (especially on Windows where the platform default is not UTF-8, which is the default for this class).

There should be tests for this behavior in StringSerializerTest also.
