How to inject a non-serializable class (like java.util.ResourceBundle) with Weld

Question

I want to create a Producer that makes it possible to inject a java.util.ResourceBundle into any class in order to get localized Strings easily. My ResourceBundle-Producer looks like this: ``` public class ResourceBundleProducer { @Inject public Locale locale; @Inject public FacesContext facesContext; @Produces public ResourceBundle getResourceBundle() { return ResourceBundle.getBundle("/messages", locale ) } } ``` The Injection of Locale and FacesContext works (took the corresponding producers from the Seam 3 Alpha Source). But unfortunately, ResourceBundle is not Serializable and therefore can't be produced in this way. I'm getting the following Error from Weld when trying to access a JSF-page which calls a bean that uses my ResourceBundle: ` Caused by: org.jboss.weld.IllegalProductException: WELD-000054 Producers cannot produce non-serializable instances for injection into non-transient fields of passivating beans\n\nProducer\: org.jboss.weld.bean-/D:/Program Files (x86)/GlassFis…

Accepted Answer

Well, First of all ResourceBundle is not Serializable. See here. And The message is clear

cannot produce non-serializable instances for injection into non-transient fields of passivating beans

passivating beans ??? I Think web.PersonHome is Either a Stateful Session Bean or a @ConversationScoped bean. Am i right ??? If so you should mark your bundle property as transient

```
private transient @Inject ResourceBundle bundle;
```
