This is an allow-list which is much more secure than a deny-list.

It's a regular expression, so you can feel free to get super-creative with the expression if you want to effectively create a deny-list with one item.

Honestly, this is probably some technical dept worth paying off at this point.

Another option would be to store the object in a wrapper in the session that *is* serializable but it doesn't actually try to serialize the object it wraps.

I did one of these ages ago for similar reasons: I didn't want to go change all those classes to be Serializable. Here it is:

public class TransientObjectWrapper<T>
    implements Serializable
{
    private static final long serialVersionUID = -4694896879363833304L;

    private transient final T _o;

    public TransientObjectWrapper(T o) { _o = o; }

    public T getWrappedObject() { return _o; }
}

Using this plus a craftily-written Filter, HttpServletRequestWrapper, and HttpSession implementation would allow you to do this kind of thing without any failures.

Or you could just configure Tomcat's already flexible allow-list for session attribute names.

Mark,

So if my customer object is failing to get set in the session
replication, I could add this to the config snippet?

sessionAttributeNameFilter="customer"

You set that to the attributes you DO want to replicate, not the ones you don't.

so like this?...........

I know why the error, it is because the  customer object was never written to 
be serialiazable.
The old application I am working on has a lot of such non serialized
objects and I do not want to search out change them all to implement
serialiazable

I am hoping there is a way to configure Tomcat to just not try and
replication sessions all object which are not serialiazable
