It's hard to comment without a specific use case. You only have to implement Serializable or StateHolder if you're going to save the bean. Maybe you're not saving the bean. If you're using server-side state management and session-scoped beans, it'd depend on your container whether they're "saved."
If you're using client-side state management, they should always be "saved." Also, check your inheritance hierarchy. Perhaps some base superclass is already implementing Serializable.
