Steve,

I'm going to look into this, this could be trouble for cluster replication.

        Key: BEEHIVE-829
        URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-829

       Type: Bug

Controls deserialization has a rather nasty bug where we're looking for the 
wrong delimiter.  To wit, in AnnotatedElementMap.readObject():
---
           int argsIndex = _elemDesc.indexOf('/');
           if (argsIndex < 0)  // element is a Field
---
should actually be:
---
           int argsIndex = _elemDesc.indexOf('(');
           if (argsIndex < 0)  // element is a Field
---

This basically means that controls serialization is broken in a fair number of 
cases (mostly extensible controls).
