> The spec says:
> {quote}A managed bean is passivation capable if and only if the bean class is serializable and all interceptors and decorators of
> the bean *are serializable*.{quote}
> The "interceptors and decorators of the bean *are serializable*" part is problematic. While it is fine to examine the defining class in case of standard interceptors/decorators, the question is: How to find out whether an extension-provided interceptor/decorator in serializable? It does not make sense to check the implementation of the Interceptor/Decorator interfaces nor to examine the class returned by Bean.getBeanClass() as that would break the abstraction.
> IMHO, the spec should say that:
> {quote}A managed bean is passivation capable if and only if the bean class is serializable and all interceptors and decorators of
> the bean are *passivation capable*.{quote}
> Where a standard interceptor/decorator would be passivation capable if and only if it implemented the Serializable interface whereas the following section of the spec would handle extension-provided interceptors/decorators.
> {quote}A custom implementation of Bean is passivation capable if it implements the interface PassivationCapable. An imple-
> mentation of Contextual that is not a bean is passivation capable if it implements both PassivationCapable and Serial-
> izable.
