But if you do not >want clustering I cannot see why session persistence is ON by default... TC5 requires that session attributes be Serializable by default even outside a cluster because TC5 persists sessions to disk by default. If you change the Manager used to handle sessions, you can get around the Serializable request. As you noted, if you plan on clustering/distributing your webapp in the future, you will have the requirement of Serializable session attributes no matter what, as that's mandate by the Servlet Specification.
