I'm not trying to - I only put the serialization code in as a protection
from my bean being "reset". Originally I put in no serialization code as I
was assured that the server would not be reset and that my application bean
should exist for the duration of the application. It was, however,
regularly reset so I put in the serialization. This made no difference. It
still gets reset.

How do you ensure that the bean is no longer referenced?
