Re: ThreadLocal not serialzable

I did some thinking, read up some more on serialization, and read a 
little more of the AspectWerkz source code. I discovered the 
'threadSafe="false"' attribute in <pointcut/> in one of the tests 
(although I'm not clear whether that is appropriate with a perInstance 
or perThread demployment model).

So I tried using that, but now I'm getting:
java.io.NotSerializableException: java.lang.reflect.Method
presumably because the joinpoints are now "MemberMethodJoinPoint" 
objects which contain java.lang.reflect.Method objects (not serializable).

I've been thinking perhaps I should extend java.lang.reflect.Method, or 
java.lang.ThreadLocal, and make it implement Serializable.

But of course I'm open to any better advice.

Thanks
Tom
