/** This class abstracts away from the filenet methods necessary to "do things" that
* the crawler or authority needs to be done with the Filenet repository.  The purpose for breaking this
* out is to permit the Filenet invocation to be RMI based, because it relies
* on too many specific versions of jars.
*
* One of the tricks needed is to preserve session.  This is handled at this level by explicitly passing a
* session string around.  The session string is created on the remote JVM, and is subsequently used to describe
* the individual session we care about from the client side.
