/**
 * WebAppMarshaller
 *
 * An implementation of the AbstractJBossMarshaller code that is just
 * enough to provide a ContextClassResolver that will use the Thread Context Classloader
 * in order to deserialize session attribute classes.  
 * 
 * This is necessary because the standard infinispan marshaller (GenericJBossMarshaller) uses the
 * classloader of the loader that loaded itself. When using the infinispan module in Jetty, all of
 * the infinispan classes will be on the container classpath. That means that the GenericJBossMarshaller
 * returns the container classloader which is unable to load any webapp classes. This class ensures
 * that it is always the webapp's classloader that will be used.
 * 
 * In order to use this class, you should put a hotrod-client.properties file into the
 * ${jetty.base}/resources directory that contains this line:
 * 
 * infinispan.client.hotrod.marshaller=org.eclipse.jetty.session.infinispan.WebAppMarshaller
 * 
 * You will also need to add the following lines to a context xml file for your webapp to
 * permit the webapp's classloader to see the org.eclipse.jetty.session.infinispan classes for
 * the deserialization to work correctly:
 * 
 *  <Call name="prependServerClass">
 *   <Arg>-org.eclipse.jetty.session.infinispan.</Arg>
 * </Call>
