Serializing an @Component with a DAO?

[sarmahdi]

Hello guys!

I know it will seem like a WAS issue at first but my question is related to Spring in the end so pls bare with me :


I am a developer for a vendor managed app not a WAS 6.1 admin so I apologize if my questions don't make sense but I will try my best: there is an issue that comes in our prod logs :

[1/29/12 8:55:58:936 AST] 00000010 WASSession E DatabaseHashMap serializeAppData SESN0040E: Exception caught while trying to serialize session data for subsequent database write.

I looked into the class Organization and is a Spring @Components @Scope("Session").

Now, What I understand is that websphere is trying to serialize the Session Object "Oraganization" and it is not able to serialize it in DB.

I dont know why is WAS throwing this error, it could be a WAS issue or Spring so I will try to ask some spring related questions to reduce the possibility that Spring is used incorrectly in the application:

Now the exception : Why is it happening if its normal for WAS to do persist session in some DB: Organization is I stated a @Scope(Session) scoped Spring @Component . It extends a class that has a class that is purely non serializable in nature, kinda like a DAO. Organization is NOT serializable either nor any of the class that it extends.

The service is @AutoWired into a parent class that is extended by a class that Organization extends and. So if a certain DAO is @AutoWired to a @Component Can the component still be serialized?

(Forgot to add: loginDao is not marked with @Service its just a plain class with CRUD operational methods)

@Component("organization")
@Scope("session")
public class Organization extends Profile
{

}
//No @Component or any annotation
public class Profile
{

@Autowired
private Operations operations;
}

@Component("operations")
public class Operations
{

@Autowired
private User user;

@Autowired
private LoginDao logindao

}

I will appreciate any info/hint on this
Thanks in advance.
