I'm not sure where you define the Logger, but if the bean (or what ever you use) implements Serializable for some reasons you should mark the Logger correct.

Most common is  to use 'static final Logger' the Logger is thread save and must not instanciated for every instance.

Hi Fink,

thanks for the reply.

I am getting above exception when i keep javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD as 'client' in web.xml and  it is working fine if i keep STATE_SAVING_METHOD  as 'server'. any idea?

[wdfink]

I'm not familiar with your JSF, RichFace stuff.

So I suppose that you have a Logger somewhere which should be serialized with an Object.

(If you use 'server' I suppose everything is called-by-reference, otherwise call-by-value and that might use Serialization)

To avoid that you should use 'static' or 'transient' for that variable as I mentioned before.
