Description

As discussed at [1], the recommendation for OpenCMIS clients is to cache instances of org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.client.api.Session. However many Java caching libraries require that cache entries be Serializable, and Session doesn't currently extend java.io.Serializable forcing such clients to do a variety of gymnastics if they wish to cache Sessions (as per the recommendation).

This enhancement requests that org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.client.api.Session extend java.io.Serializable.
