Not sure if it is the cause of the error, but I would recommend agains doing this. All browsers have a limitation on the length of the URL that they will pass, which range from about 2000 up to 100,000. A WDDX string could easily pass this length limit. I'd look at storing it in a cookie (though Cookies also have length limits) or a session variable.
