That was my thought, too ;)
Well I read that JSF assumes that all bean objects are serializable or (in some cases) implement the StateHolder interface.
I also have to work with non serializable objects.
You can first try to remove your objects from any session scoped object. If you can avoid it, don't directly use the objects with input components.
Another solution is to build a wrapper that is serializable. But that might be a bit difficult if your classes are dynamically generated.
