Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server Liberty Profile - Enterprise Java    *
  *                  Beans (EJB)                                 *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Improve message text when EJB           *
  *                      SessionContext fails to serialize       *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  If an instance of javax.ejb.SessionContext is serialized,
  the serialization will fail with a NotSerializableException.
  The message text of the NotSerializableException does
  not provide information that explains why the failure has
  occurred. This message text should be improved to explain
  that instances of SesionContext are not serializable and
  also indicate which EJB the context is associated with.
  

Problem conclusion

• The EJB container has been updated to provide message text for
  the NotSerializableException that explains why the problem has
  occurred and identifies which EJB is causing the problem.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
  pack 8.5.5.9.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
