@EJB in @ViewScoped @ManagedBean causes java.io.NotSerializableException

I've read @EJB in @ViewScoped managed bean causes java.io.NotSerializableException, but my state saving setting is server.

Here is what I have:

I know I can workaround this by declaring PersonFacade as transient and use JNDI to get EJB reference after recontruction, but I really dislike this approach.

Is it possible that Glassfish 3.1.1 provides non-serializable EJBs? Is there a way to use @EJB and @ViewScoped together?

update: i found that this is a MyFaces related issue, all is working fine using mojarra

I have seen the problem too. What I have done in the past is split my bean into a StateBean which is @ViewScoped and an ActionsBean which is @RequestScoped. The ActionBean is injected with the StateBean as well as any EJBs or non-serializable resource accessing objects. On the front-end you use the StateBean for accessing properties and ActionsBean for performing actions.

I would love to hear from someone else who would make my "bean splitting" pattern deprecated.

This is an example of what I do:

@ManagedBean
@ViewScoped
public class CustomControllerStateBean implements Serializable {

  private static final long serialVersionUID = 134755304347034L;

  private Person selected;

  public Person getSelected() {
    return selected;
  }

  public void setSelected(Person selected) {
    this.selected = selected;
  }
}

Notice CustomControllerStateBean is @ViewScoped and is Serializable an only contains Serializable objects.

@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
public class CustomControllerActionsBean {

  @EJB
  private PersonFacade facade;
  @Inject
  private CustomControllerStateBean state;

  public void create() {
    facade.create(state.getSelected());
  }
}

Notice CustomControllerActionsBean is @RequestScoped and is NOT Serializable an contains non-Serializable objects.

Your front-end will no look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
      xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
      xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">      

    <h:head>
        <title>TODO supply a title</title>
    </h:head>

    <h:body>

        <p:growl id="messages"/>

        <h:form>

            <p:commandButton actionListener="#{customerControllerActionsBean.create}" value="save" update="@form :messages"/>

            <p:panel>
                <f:facet name="header">
                    <h:outputText value="Details"/>
                </f:facet>

                <h:panelGrid columns="3">

                    <h:outputLabel for="name" value="#{bundle['person.name']}"/>
                    <p:inputText id="name" label="#{bundle['person.name']}" value="#{customerControllerStateBean.selected.name}"/>
                    <p:message for="name"/>

                    <h:outputLabel for="surname" value="#{bundle['person.surname']}"/>
                    <p:inputText id="surname" label="#{bundle['person.surname']}" value="#{customerControllerStateBean.selected.surname}"/>
                    <p:message for="surname"/>

                </h:panelGrid>
            </p:panel>

        </h:form>

    </h:body>
</html>

Notice CustomControllerActionsBean is used at the top in the p:commandButton and CustomControllerStateBean is used in the p:inputTexts.

:) I had the same problem: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-3581

David Blevins over at the Apache TomEE helped me a log a bug and patch for MyFaces. The problem was generated proxy classes aren't on the classloader path for their deserializer.

A workaround is to set this web-app param to false: org.apache.myfaces.SERIALIZE_STATE_IN_SESSION
