FirstAvailable target should not be transient
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-4802
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4802
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Clustering
    Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.1.GA, JBossAS-5.0.0.Beta2
            Reporter: Brian Stansberry
         Assigned To: Brian Stansberry
            Priority: Minor


If a bean proxy that already has a target established gets serialized (e.g. passed through a remote call), the sticky target is lost on the other end.  This can lead to invocations against the same target bean on multiple servers.

I don't see any reason for FirstAvailable.electedTarget to be transient.

Problem here is changing this changes the serialized form of the class, breaking interoperability.  Class also does not implement Externalizable.
