Hi JaiKiran

Even I am facing this issue.

My application package structure.

client.ear

    META-INF/

    client.jar

    client.war

server.ear

   META-INF/

   server-ejb.jar

   model.jar

I am trying to invoke methods on remote EJB present in server-ejb.jar from client.jar

I was invoking the methods on the remote interface, and realised that the calls to remote interface in same JVM will be taken care by EJBLocalReceiver, which was throwing this exception, I changed the interface to local interface and this exception does not occur anymore.

But want to know the root cause for this exception, though.

Sounds to me that you have something in the parameter or return values which can not be serialized.

If you use Remote interfaces the invocation will be handled the same way as a remote invocation and serialize all (call-by-value). You might set the <in-vm-remote-interface-invocationType pass-by-value=false/> within the ejb3 subsystem and that should have the same effect as all invocations with remote interfaces are changed to call-by-reference and prevent serialization.

Hello Wolf,

Phew I got a first reply to my post in this forum, thanks a ton for that

My method which was throwing this exception.

at com.sun.proxy.$Proxy136.getUser(Unknown Source)

at centina.sa.client.session.RoleCheckImpl.getHomePage(RoleCheckImpl.java:94) [client.jar:]

The method call which resulted in this exception, was passing a String argument and receiving a model object which implemented Serializable interface. So I was not sure what I can do here except when I saw the class which was throwing this exception EJBLocalReceiver, whose description is as follows

"EJBReceiver for local same-VM invocations. This handles all invocations on remote interfaces withing the server JVM." I thought that the remote invocations in same JVM will be routed through this class which was expecting some Serializable args, so switched from Remote to local interface. But still the parameters of the EJB method and return type are Serializable, so I done quite understand the problem, please let me know if you want me post detailed code.

Again thanks a lot.

Hi Kumar,

I have resolved this issue,It was throwing Marshalling Exception because im passing the Database connection object from servlet to EJB Remote object,which cannot be serialized, then i had changed the database architecture and handled all operations thru DAO classes,can you check if you are passing objects from remote object as a parameter  which are not serializable

Hello Riyaz

Thanks for replying as I mentioned in my previous reply the single parameter I am passing to this EJB method is a String, and the return value is a model object which implements Serializable. Once I changed the interface from Remote to Local it worked fine.

[wdfink]

But if you return an Object there might be other objects included which are not serializable, this might be an instance variable or a Collection which include not serializeable Objects

[lokeshdotp]

Thanks a lot Wolf, I know my mistake now. Will try with Remote interface again.

Great, let us know your results

Lokesh,

I am currently facing the same kind of problem. I am just wondering whether you were able to overcome this problem or not.

Hello Saravanan,

you should explain a bit more, maybe you should open a new thread and attach a part of your sourcecode.
