Requiring servlet context attributes to be Serializable is an application server
specific restriction, currently imposed by WebLogic 6.0 and (now) IAS, and
apparently would be preferred by most app server containers. The current
implementation of the message resources has a nested reference to a
non-Serializable class, which causes the message you get above. This is a high
priority issue for development, and will be fixed before 1.0 is released.
NOTE: At present, the Struts example application still uses a non-Serializable
servlet context attribute, and will not run in an environment that requires them
(even though apps you write will work fine, after the bug fix mentioned in the
previous paragraph).
