Resolution
- Make sure that the data which an application is trying to store inside the HttpSession is marked as
"java.io.Serializable" - The above error clearly indicates that the Application is trying to Store the
"javax.naming.InitialContext"inside theHttpSessionas following:
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSessionMap().put("something", ctx);
OR
httpSession.setAttribute("something",ctx);
- As
"javax.naming.InitialContext"class is not marked as"java.io.Serializable"thats why The Infinispan cache is throwing the mentioned error while storing the value inside the Infinispan cache. - So application developers need to check the application code to find out which class contains a
"javax.naming.InitialContext"Variable with name"ctx"which application is trying to store inside the HttpSession. - If application is using JSF then check the ManagedBean which might be using
@SessionScopedannotation and might be also declaring"InitialContext ctx"variable in that class. Which can be either declared as"transient"so that will not be used at the time of serialization.
Root Cause
-
There might be objects stored in the session which are not Serializable, these can be :
- a customer object or an object that contains other objects which is not maked as Serializable by accident.
- a reference to an object which should not be included.
-
Another issue is that an object can be modified concurrent but is not thread safe.
- HashMap, ArrayList etc. can be modified from the active session until the replication is active,refer to ISPN000097 Failure to marshal argument(s) exception - Cause ConcurrentModificationException - while replicating HTTP session in EAP 6
