If your session is auto-started, you have to resort to pretty ugly hacks to load the class definitions beforehand so the object can be properly unserialized. In this case, unserializing by hand is preferable. Of course, in this case, not auto-starting the session is even more preferable.

No, it happens automatically when you save the session anyway.
