Description

The AJAX library we're currently using is a bit problematic, as it stores non-serializable stuff in the HttpSession (causing all sorts of nasty exception reports in default configurations of Tomcat, and preventing clustering). It does provide a very nice, reflection-based interface so that we can expose any class/method as a JSON endpoint, but this does not really work well with our auth system.

We should replace the jabsorb stuff with a Stripes-native solution (possibly with some extensions to allow particular beans to expose methods as if we were using jabsorb).
