Andoni,
You can't serialize a class if it doesn't implement the
Serializable Interface.

My JavaBeans are being stored in session even though they don't
explicitly
implement java.io.Serializable.
What am I missing? Should I add it?

Howdy,
It's good practice to make beans that you put in a session Serializable.
Tomcat indeed serializes sessions by default, and if you put a
non-Serializable bean in the session you'll get a runtime exception.
However, tomcat doesn't due this to free memory under load as much as it
does it to persist sessions across server restarts.
