This error comes when the deployed application session contains a non-serializable object (specifically a List obtained by calling subList() on another List).
Application code should get reviewed to identify this object and remove it or replace it with a serializable object – e.g. copy its contents into an ArrayList and store that instead.
To support in-memory replication of HTTP session states, all servlet and JSP session data must be serializable.
Serialization is the process of converting a complex data structure, such as a parallel arrangement of data (in which a number of bits are transmitted at a time along parallel channels) into a serial form (in which one bit at a time is transmitted); a serial interface provides this conversion to enable data transmission.
Every field in an object must be serializable or transient in order for the object to be considered serializable. If the servlet or JSP uses a combination of serializable and non-serializable objects, WebLogic Server does not replicate the session state of the non-serializable objects.
To check which objects are serilazable or not we can follow below steps:
Below JSP page tests serializing all the objects and gives a good output page showing this information.
Put this in your web application and hit the JSP like so:
http://localhost/myWebApplication/SerTestServlet.jsp
The output will contain this information (nicely formatted in the browser) and show the attribute name and the class name. It would be a good test to have in your staging application (you can always remove the JSP at any time very easily).
# Attribute Name Class Name Serializable Serializes Okay No args C'TOR Bytes 0 simplesession.servername java.lang.String Yes Yes Yes 15 1 sessiontest.counter java.lang.Integer Yes Yes No 81 2 serialize_obj demo.SessionReplicate.serize Yes Yes No 94 3 noserize_obj demo.SessionReplicate.noserize No n/a No 94
The total size of the objects in the HTTPSession is 190 bytes (non-serializable doesn’t count)
It can be placed under any web-application in the top level directory as in the following example, where myWebApplication is the top-level of the war or exploded app:
myWebApplication SerTestServlet.jsp WEB-INF web.xml weblogic.xml images index.jsp
SerTestServlet.jsp

<p>This jsp tests whether the attributes held in the current HTTP session are serialisable.
In order for web-applications to be capable of being replicated using WebLogic's in-memory clustering,
all session attributes must be serialisable.</p>
<p>
<p>Therefore the object's class must implement the <font face="Courier">java.io.Serializable</font> interface.
However, simply declaring that a class implements this interface is not sufficient and can often lead
to problems when trying to cluster a web application for the first time. This JSP can be used to help
diagnose such problems more quickly.</p>
<p>
<p>In order to guarantee that the session is truely serialisable this page tests each session attribute
by actually attempting to serialise it.
