  * This class shows how an application provided filter factory can combine filters
  * to check every deserialization operation that takes place in a thread.
- * It defines a thread-local variable to hold the thread-specific filter, and constructs a filter factory
- * that composes that filter with the static JVM-wide filter and the stream-specific filter.
+ * It defines a thread-local variable to hold the thread-specific filter, and construct a filter factory
+ * that composes that filter with the static JVM-wide filter and the stream-specific filter,
+ * rejecting any classes not handled by those two filters.
+ * If a stream specific filter is set and does not accept or reject a class,
+ * the combined JVM-wide filter and thread filter is applied.
  * The {@code doWithSerialFilter} method does the setup of the thread-specific filter
  * and invokes the application provided {@link Runnable Runnable}.
