Getting java.io.NotSerializableException with a spring service when stopping tomcat

Question

i am using spring 3 with JSF 2 and i replaced JSF managed beans with spring beans, by adding on top of bean:

@Component(\"mybean\")
@Scope(\"session\")
         


        

Answer 1

Looking at the error, It looks like tomcat is trying to serialize the entire spring context, I think it might be due to the fact that your are implementing Serializable on Service. I was thinking may be you need to do this, I don't know JSF that well but my understanding of scoped beans makes me think, You might need some thing like this

    @Component
    @Scope(proxyMode=ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS, value="session")
    public class MyBean implements Serializable
    {
       //no need to implement serializable on service
       @Autowired(required=true)
       private MyService service;
    }
