Error in SimpleStatefulCache$SessionTimeoutTask

[newlukai]

Hi there,

when I start the JBoss AS with my application, I get this error after some minutes.

I found "PortletContext" in the "portlet-api-lib.jar" and put it in my ear file, but this didn't solve the problem.

i don't know what's wrong. Can anybody help me?

Hi,

back from my holidays I see that anybody had an idea. But my problem still exists.
Maybe "I get this error after some minutes" was not exact enough. This error occurs when I log in to my application and then stay logged in whithout doing anything.

What version of Seam?

[newlukai]

At the moment it's 1.0.1 GA. But I'm planning to migrate. I'm not sure whether I should update or wait for a non-beta release.

Hi, I am having exactly the same problem as described in the original post.

Does anyone have a solution or explanation of this?

Thanks,
Richard.

[rhardy5014]

I believe that I have found a solution to this problem (at least in my case). It seems that I have some private, SEAM-injected properties in the Session Bean object that JBOSS wwas trying to passivate. For example:

@In (value="folderTreeBacker", create=true)
private FolderTreeLocal folderTree;

I have added the "transient" keyword to stop them being serialised, as follows:

@In (value="folderTreeBacker", create=true)
private transient FolderTreeLocal folderTree;

After doing this, the javax/portlet/PortletContext problem no longer occurs on my system.

Richard.

This should definitely not be necessary in Seam 1.1.

[newlukai]

I could solve this problem by including a portlet-api-lib (don't know where I found it). But after that I ran into other problems while serializing/deserializing the session and marked some members as transient where necessary (the SessionContext for example). But there were still problems when using the session 5 minutes before timeout.

Now I use Seam 1.1 and ICEfaces 1.5.1 and after the application works as before the migration I'll check this problem again.

[costeen21]

I'm using Seam 1.1.GA and ICEFaces 1.5.1(hopefully not pertinent) and I'm having this same issue.

[costeen21]

Nevermind. My bad. I had an unserializeable object in my class.

I'm not getting this error anymore.
