Matthias, Then it seems like additional classes need to be made Serializable. My application was *very* simple so I didn't run into this problem.
I still think you need my patch b/c if you take it out, it will complain that JspStateManagerImpl can't be serialized. I don't know enough about MyFaces yet to know why JspStateManagerImpl should be serialized. I suspect somewhere the code is trying to store it in the session. The solution is to stop requiring that it be serialized or fix all of the potential things that could be stored in JspStateManagerImpl and make them serializable as well. I will try to look into it.
