Marshalling an EntityManager using the river marshaller and the default MarshallingConfiguration generates the following error:

The problematic object is org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl, which is Serializable, and has its own writeObject(OOS) method. Looking at RiverObjectOutputStream, in order for the State to not equal UNWRITTEN_FIELDS when finish(State) is called, something must call either defaultWriteObject() or writeFields(), neither of which are triggered by SessionImpl's writeObject(...) method.
