Look instead for passivation, you will find plenty.

The only explicit sentence I found was : *1.3.1. JSF example* *The @SessionScoped annotation defined in Section 2.4.1, “Built-in scope types” is a scope* *type that specifies the lifecycle of instances of Login. Managed beans with this scope must be* *serializable.* The Weld documentation is a bit more explicit : *5.2. Built-in scopes* *Managed beans with scope @SessionScoped or @ConversationScoped must be serializable, since the container passivates the HTTP session from time to time.* And in the Java EE Tutorial we find ( http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/gjbbk.html) : *Beans that use session, application, or conversation scope must be serializable*, but beans that use request scope do not have to be serializable. This even made be doubt about the application scope ?!? Any way, could we clarify this in the CDI spec ? -- Antonio Goncalves Software architect, Java Champion and Pluralsight author Web site <http://www.antoniogoncalves.org/> | Twitter <http://twitter.com/agoncal> | LinkedIn <http://www.linkedin.com/in/agoncal> | Pluralsight <http://pluralsight.com/training/Authors/Details/antonio-goncalves> | Paris JUG <http://www.parisjug.org/> | Devoxx France <http://www.devoxx.fr/> _______________________________________________ cdi-dev mailing list cdi-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/cdi-dev Note that for all code provided on this list, the provider licenses the code under the Apache License, Version 2 ( http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html).
