           Summary: [shale] Position (inner class) should implement
                    Serializable
           Product: Struts
           Version: Nightly Build
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Shale
        AssignedTo: dev@struts.apache.org
        ReportedBy: sean.schofield@gmail.com


At one point Tomcat complained about not being able to serialize
Status$Position.  This class should really implement Serializable otherwise any
class that implements Status and makes use of Position (such as Status) cannot
be serialized.

Also, this got me thinking about why Position is declared as part of the Status
interface.  Presumably there is a good reason but I can't think of any
advantages to this offhand.  In fact its a little bit disconcerting for the
average user (me) who has not ever seen an inner class in an interface before. 
Obviously its permissable but I think we should consider making it its own class
unless there is a compelling reason to have it this way.
