The arguments to the remote metho dmust be serializable at runtime. The
HttpRequest of Catalina's isn't so you wont be able to do that. What you
want to do is extract the values you need out of the request, and pass
them to the process method so that the process method is pure business
logic and doesn't care where the request comes from

Hi all,
I'm trying to call an EJB method from a servlet. The EJB methods work
fine when I use a standalone test app, but die when I make the same
calls from a servlet, throwing:
java.io.NotSerializableException:
org.apache.catalina.connector.HttpRequestFacade
stack trace snipped
The servlet can create the EJB instance OK, it's not a lookup problem.
The exception is thrown when I call a custom method in the servlet (it
doesn't do anything, it's just a test stub). The remote interface method
looks like:
public void process(HttpServletRequest reqest, HttpServletResponse
response) throws RemoteException, java.io.NotSerializableException;
I'm currently using Tomcat 4 + JBoss 2.4.1 (seperately, not integrated),
but had the same problem with Tomcat 3. The only fields in the
Registration EJB are Strings - nothing fancy. I've stripped the bean
'bare' to try and isolate the problem, without success.
Despite much net searching I haven't seen any reports of similar
problems - surely I'm not the only one? I'm running on Mac OS X 10.1
(Hotspot Java VM 1.3.1 for those who don't know).
Any suggestions/thoughts gratefully received.
Regards,
Andrew Wright
