Error StandardWrapperValve[Faces Servlet]:PWC1406: Servlet.service() for servlet Faces Servlet threw exception

Ask Question
In my managedBean if I change my scope from @RequestScoped to @ViewScoped , I am getting the following error stack. How can I resolve this? I could see the results in page when I run my application though.
I am running on glassfish 3 with Mojarra 2.1.3 (FCS b02)
Regards

public class SchedulesBean implements Serializable {
    Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getName().toString());
    CommonMethods commonMethods = new CommonMethods();
    private ScheduleDAO scheduleDAO = DatabaseConnection
            .getInstance(commonMethods.getDSName()).geScheduleDAO();
    List<Schedule> beanValues = new ArrayList<Schedule>();
    private Schedule schedule;
    private Schedule selectedRow  = new Schedule();
    public SchedulesBean() {
        this.getSchedules();                
    public Schedule getSchedule() {
        return schedule;
    public void setSchedule(Schedule schedule) {
        this.schedule = schedule;
    public void getSchedules() {
        try {
            beanValues = scheduleDAO.loadSchedules();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO: handle exception
    public void selectedRow(SelectEvent event) {
        selectedRow = (Schedule) event.getObject();
        logger.info("selectedRow "+selectedRow);
                How about Schedule and ScheduleDAO classes. May be these require to implement Serializable according to your usage

                I added in Schedule and ScheduleDAO. Now I am getting this error stack java.io.NotSerializableException: org.apache.log4j.Logger 	at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeObject0(ObjectOutputStream.java:1164) So how could I add in external classes

You can also try to add "transient" keyword for all non-serializable properties.
transient Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(...
transient private ScheduleDAO scheduleDAO 
Another way to check if the bean is serializable is to apply QA tool against your code like Findbugs (TM), or any home-tools to check this aspect of your code.
