Sebastian,
Ah yes, I ran into this entertaining problem when I coded the Async invocation
code in 2.x.
Fundamentally, the problem is caused because Throwable is not serializable - as others have noted,
it has a getStackTrace() method which causes the problem.
When I wanted to pass an exception as a parameter, what I did was to create a wrapper class and put
the exception into the wrapper class, with the wrapper class taking care of the serialization of the
exception. This did mean that I did NOT serialize the stack trace - but in an SOA world, I think
that handing over stack traces between clients and services is not a good plan anyway, so I think
that this is OK.
You may wish to approach the problem along similar lines.
Yours, Mike.
