Joe, Your web.xml looks good and a quick look at the JSF RI source code shows that it is not Serializable (I just peeked at the JSF 2.0.2 code which was released on the 10th and the class isn't Serializable there). As described in the source code for the javax.faces.context.Flash (http://www.docjar.com/docs/api/javax/faces/context/Flash.html) object indicates the following:
> The flash is an application scoped object that must be thread safe, and > provide a programming model that lets each session treat the flash as if it > was a session scoped object. The reference implementation of the object should be Serializable in order to execute on the GAE platform. It is probably worth filing a bug (https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/issues/) with Sun on the matter.
