NotSerializableException (InitialContext) at PASSIVATE

[berndreiners]

Hi all
Console Output:
[Container factory] java.rmi.ServerException: Could not passivate; nested exception is
[Container factory] java.io.NotSerializableException: javax.naming.InitialContext

I'm using JBoss Version 2.4.3
Always when JBoss tries to passivate some of my ejb's that "NotSerializableException" Occurs.

I dont understand what causes thatError, I tried to declare the Context as transient, but it didn't help (however i think that i dont have to for Context Objects).

Has anyone seen that before and can help?

the complete Console Output is:
[Container factory] java.rmi.ServerException: Could not passivate; nested exception is
[Container factory] java.io.NotSerializableException: javax.naming.InitialContext

[juha]

set your initial context to null in ejbPassivate()

of course i did. that's the first thing i tried. i thought perhaps the Instance of log4J occurs that and so i deleted all the Log4J Objects, but that mistake's still here :(
anyway thanx
