Spec says:
===================
    /**
     * Returns an object resolved from the stored <code>Ref</code>
     * reference.
     *
     * @return an object instance resolve from the Ref refernce
     * @throws SerialException if an error is encounter in the reference
     * resolution
     */
    public Object getObject() throws SerialException


Problem description
===================
javax.sql.rowset.serial.SerialRef.getObject() throws NullPointerException
in case setObject has not been called before. But in this case underlying
ref's object expected. See demo.
    
Minimized test:
===============
------- T.java -------
import javax.sql.rowset.*;
import javax.sql.rowset.serial.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class T {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            MyRef ref = new MyRef("test");
            SerialRef serial_ref = new SerialRef(ref);
            System.out.println("getObject(): "+serial_ref.getObject());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

class MyRef implements Ref {
    private Object object;
    public MyRef(Object object) {
        this.object = object;
    }
    public String getBaseTypeName()
        throws SQLException {
        return "javasoft.sqe.tests.api.javax.sql.rowset.serial.SerialRef.MyRef";
    }
    public Object getObject(Map map)
        throws SQLException {
        return object;
    }
    public Object getObject()
        throws SQLException {
        return object;
    }
    public void setObject(Object value)
        throws SQLException {
        this.object = value;
    }
}

Minimized test output:
======================
