Hi all, Couple of Serialization issue we need to address before RC1.
1. The new Element class is referenced by both Page and AbstractControl but it is not Serializable. So either it needs to be Serializable or references to Element must be transient.
2. AccessController is also not Serializable but is referenced by Menu so we need to make a decision on this as well
3. Page is not Serializable and subclasses that are set to stateful needs to implement the Serializable interface. I've noticed though that a Serializable subclass does not serialize the state of its superclass. So none of the Page state is actually restored after the server restarts. After a server restart a stateful Page will become stateless because that is the default value of the stateful property. Also the Page model and control list is empty after restart. So I'm wondering if we shouldn't make Page serializable so that it is properly restored after restart?
