Serialization problems in section "1.3.1. JSF example". ------------------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-708 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-708 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Bug Components: Concepts Affects Versions: 2.0 .Final Reporter: Martin Andersson Section "1.3.1. JSF example" provide an example of a class {{Login}}, that saves in its state an {{EntityManager}} reference and two {{Parameter}} references. The JPA specification does not say that a {{Parameter}} instance is serializable. This is also true for the {{EntityManager}} reference which is {{@Dependent}} (see section "1.3.3. Java EE component environment example"). JPA does not specify that the {{EntityManager}} is serializable and the EJB specification only specifies serialization semantics for passivation-enabled {{@Stateful}} EJB:s (which encourages the bean provider to not mark an {{EntityManager}} reference as transient, see EJB §4.2.1).
