Errors while restarting Tomcat

[Wojciech Erbetowski]

First I had some NotSerializableExceptions on org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory class, so I changed all Services definitions in Beans to transient and now I have something else:

SEVERE: IOException while loading persisted sessions:

I'm using Spring and JSF on Tomcat 6. Any ideas?

[William Brogden]

Some reference in your session(s) is to an object that is not serializable. As I recall, there should be some mention in the logs when Tomcat tried to serialize the session out in the first place.
