I am using Weblogic 12c (12.1.3 to be specific) to deploy my (EJB 3.1) application.
In my application, I have a @Stateful
bean, which holds references to an EntityManager
and other @Stateless
beans, injected using @PersistenceContext
and @EJB
annotations respectively.
My issue is that when my stateful bean is being passivated and serialized to disk, Weblogic tries to serialize the references to the stateless beans as well, and throws a NotSerializableException
referring to the bean's proxy that was injected by Weblogic. For comparison - the EntityManager reference is passivated and reactivated without issue at all. It is only the stateless beans who cause issues.
I know I can define @PrePassivate
and @PostActivate
methods to make my code work, but is there any way I can make the container handle the Stateless beans references on its own?
Attaching sample code which reproduces the problem for me.
Remote bean interface:
import javax.ejb.Remote;
@Remote
public interface Passivate {
public void doSomething();
}
Stateful Bean implementation:
import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.ejb.PostActivate;
import javax.ejb.PrePassivate;
import javax.ejb.Stateful;
@Stateful(mappedName = "PassivateBean")
public class PassivateBean implements Passivate {
@EJB(mappedName = "NoStateBean")
private NoState noStateBean;
@Override
public void doSomething() {
System.out.println("Hello world");
}
@PrePassivate
public void prePassivate() {
// as a workaround - can set noStateBean to null here
}
@PostActivate
public void postActivate() {
// as a workaround - can lookup and set noStateBean here manually
}
}
NoState Local interface:
import javax.ejb.Local;
@Local
public interface NoState {
public void foo();
}
NoState bean implementation:
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
@Stateless(mappedName = "NoStateBean")
public class NoStateBean implements NoState {
@Override
public void foo() {
System.out.println("foo");
}
}
And finally, the exception I am getting when PassivateBean is being passivated to disk:
<Jul 14, 2015 2:36:20 PM IDT> <Error> <EJB> <BEA-010024> <Error occurred during passivation: java.io.NotSerializableException: passivateTest.NoStateBean_i02rk_Impl
