That's right: You can store ANY object in the session object if you need
to. These object are required to be serializable (implement
java.io.Serializable), though most servlet engines will let you slide
without this. However, it is a very bad idea to have any session object,
especially a large one, not serializable.

Hi :-) I remember I have seen several emails in Servlet-List about it,
it is possible, and I remember perhaps it is better to make all the key-value
object Serializable, and perhaps it is better to notice which classloader loads
those object.
