Binary CAS Serialization is not documented
------------------------------------------

                 Key: UIMA-30
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-30
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core Java Framework, Documentation
            Reporter: Adam Lally
            Priority: Minor


(Issue reported on SourceForge by Greg Holmberg)
Class com.ibm.uima.cas.impl.Serialization is not
documented in the JavaDoc.

Since class CAS doesn't implement Serializable,
Serialization is the only way to (efficiently)
transport a CAS Java process to Java process (via RMI
or Jini).

Also, Serialization seems to be missing a method.
There is a "CASSerializer serializeCAS(CAS)" method
but no way to deserialize it. There is a pair that
works on Streams, but there is no "void
deserializeCAS(CAS, CASSerializer)" method.

Secondly, the method serializeCASComplete() takes a
CASMgr, which is also undocumented. Perhaps this
should be modified to take a CAS instead of a CASMgr?
