System.SerializationException: Not Serializable: System.Savepoint huh?

Any ideas as to what a SerializationException is? I could not find anything in the documentation.

Code:
Force.com Sandbox

Apex script unhandled exception by user/organization: 00550000000rTQA/00DT0000000EwRY

Visualforce Page: /apex/approveDealReg

System.SerializationException: Not Serializable: System.Savepoint

That looks to me like you are attempting to hold onto an instance of System.Savepoint in your controller which is going to pull the object into the page's viewstate which is not supported. You can use the transient keyword to declare that your data meber should not be included in viewstate serialization.
TehNrdTehNrd
EDIT: Please see post below.

I looked at the documentation on the transient keyword but I'm not quite sure how to use it. Here is some additional code that appears to be causing the issue.

Code:


Savepoint sp;

String error;
public String geterror(){
    return error;
}

public PageReference save() {
    //Do some validations on input fields on the VF page   
    if(accountMergeID == '' || accountMergeID == null){
        error = 'Account is required. Please select an option from the Account picklist.';
    }

    //------------All validations have passed so set a savepoint-------------
    if(error == null){
       sp = Database.setSavepoint();   
    }

    Database.LeadConvert lc = new database.LeadConvert();
    if(error == null){

     //setup a lead conversion etc. etc.
     if(sourceLead.ownerId != UserInfo.getUserId()){
        sourceLead.ownerId = UserInfo.getUserId();
        update sourceLead;
     }

     try{
         Database.LeadConvertResult lcr = Database.convertLead(lc);
         oppId = lcr.getOpportunityId();
         acctId = lcr.getAccountID();
     }catch(exception e){
         Database.rollback(sp); 
         error = 'Please contact your System Administrator. An error has occured with the lead conversion: ' + e.getmessage();
     }

  }
 }

 Error is an output panel on the page that would display any issues. It is also worth noting that when this error happens the page gets forwarded to a plain white page with the following text:

Code:
<—xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"–>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta name="Ajax-Response" content="redirect" /><meta name="Location" content="/apexpages/setup/errorPage.apexp˜core.apexpages.devmode.url=1" /></head></html>

The example above may not have been clear enough so I threw together some full code to replicate this error. I hope this can shed some light on the issue or what I am doing wrong:

In addition to these classes and controllers I have also created a validation rule on Contact, IF( AssistantName = null,true, false) , that will cause a DML exception whenever an account is inserted without Assistant.

Code:
PAGE:
<apex:page controller="rollbackerror">
<apex:form >
    <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save" rerender="error"/>
        
    <apex:outputPanel id="error">
        <apex:outputText value="{!error}"/>
    </apex:outputPanel>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

CONTROLLER:
public class rollbackerror {

    Savepoint sp; 

    String error;
    public String getError() {
        return error;
    }

    public PageReference save() {
    
        sp = Database.setSavepoint(); 
    
        Account acct = new Account(
            Name = 'Test Account'
        );
        insert acct;
        
        Contact con = new Contact(
            AccountId = acct.Id,
            FirstName = 'Mr.',
            LastName = 'Contact'
        );
        
        try{        
            insert con;
        }catch(exception e){
            Database.rollback(sp); 
            error = 'An error has occured: ' + e.getMessage();
        }
        
        return null;
    }
}

I'm not sure if this is a bug or me using savepoints wrong but due the the strange behavior of the page I have opened a case for this, 01915160.
SuperfellSuperfell
Make your savePoint local to the method, rather than a class level member.
TehNrdTehNrd
Thanks Simon, one of the reasons I had done it this way is I have numerous steps that need to be rolled back if something failed and the sp needed to be visible to all of the code blocks.....

Code:

Savepoint sp;
public PageReference save() {
 //Do some validations on input fields on the VF page   
 if(accountMergeID == '' || accountMergeID == null){
  error = 'Account is required. Please select an option from the Account picklist.';
 }

 //------------All validations have passed so set a savepoint-------------
 if(error == null){
    sp = Database.setSavepoint();   
 }

 Database.LeadConvert lc = new database.LeadConvert();
 if(error == null){

  //setup a lead conversion etc. etc.
  if(sourceLead.ownerId != UserInfo.getUserId()){
   sourceLead.ownerId = UserInfo.getUserId();
   update sourceLead;
  }
  
  try{
   Database.LeadConvertResult lcr = Database.convertLead(lc);
   oppId = lcr.getOpportunityId();
   acctId = lcr.getAccountID();
  }catch(exception e){
   Database.rollback(sp); 
   error = 'Please contact your System Administrator. An error has occured with the lead conversion: ' + e.getmessage();
  }
 }
  
 if(error == null){
  Do some more stuff
   
  try{
   execute some dml
  }catch(exception e){
   Database.rollback(sp); 
   error = 'Please contact your System Administrator. An error has occured with the inserts';
  }
 }
 
 if(error == null){
  //Do even more stuff
  
  try{
   execute some dml
  }catch(exception e){
   Database.rollback(sp); 
   error = 'Please contact your System Administrator. An error has occured with the updates';
  }
 }
}

It appears I should do it this way instead.....?
Code:
 public PageReference save() {
 //Do some validations on input fields on the VF page   
 if(accountMergeID == '' || accountMergeID == null){
  error = 'Account is required. Please select an option from the Account picklist.';
 }

 //------------All validations have passed so set a savepoint-------------
 if(error == null){
  Savepoint sp = Database.setSavepoint();   
 

  Database.LeadConvert lc = new database.LeadConvert();
  if(error == null){

   //setup a lead conversion etc. etc.
   if(sourceLead.ownerId != UserInfo.getUserId()){
    sourceLead.ownerId = UserInfo.getUserId();
    update sourceLead;
   }
   
   try{
    Database.LeadConvertResult lcr = Database.convertLead(lc);
    oppId = lcr.getOpportunityId();
    acctId = lcr.getAccountID();
   }catch(exception e){
    Database.rollback(sp); 
    error = 'Please contact your System Administrator. An error has occured with the lead conversion: ' + e.getmessage();
   }
    }
   
  if(error == null){
   Do some moer stuff
    
   try{
    execute some dml
   }catch(exception e){
    Database.rollback(sp); 
    error = 'Please contact your System Administrator. An error has occured with the inserts';
   }
  }
  
  if(error == null){
   //Do even more stuff
   
   try{
    execute some dml
   }catch(exception e){
    Database.rollback(sp); 
    error = 'Please contact your System Administrator. An error has occured with the updates';
   }
  }
 }
}

Doug/Simon,

Thanks for the help. Changing the code to to have the Savepoint inside the method did the trick.

It still may be worth looking into the code I posted above that throws the error as it is not very descriptive.
Code:
<—xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"–>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta name="Ajax-Response" content="redirect" /><meta name="Location" content="/apexpages/setup/errorPage.apexp˜core.apexpages.devmode.url=1" /></head></htm
 
Thanks,
Jason

This sort of threw me off as I wasn't sure what you were saying when you said data member as I was taught these were global variablse, same thing different name.

Adding the keyword transient before Savepoint sp; also fixed the issues. This is strange because the documentation says savepoints are always transient. (p. 87 of Apex guide)


Code:
CONTROLLER:
public class rollbackerror {

    //This fixes the issue but if savepoints are supposed to be automatically transient why am I having to do this? 
    transient Savepoint sp; 

    String error;
    public String getError() {
        return error;
    }

    public PageReference save() {
    
        sp = Database.setSavepoint(); 
    
        Account acct = new Account(
            Name = 'Test Account'
        );
        insert acct;
        
        Contact con = new Contact(
            AccountId = acct.Id,
            FirstName = 'Mr.',
            LastName = 'Contact'
        );
        
        try{        
            insert con;
        }catch(exception e){
            Database.rollback(sp); 
            error = 'An error has occured: ' + e.getMessage();
        }
        
        return null;
    }
}

 Sorry to keep dragging this out if the issue was resolved but there still appears to be some weird things going on.

EDIT: I've also had my support rep close out my case since the main issue was resolved. So if you guys think this is worth looking into I will leave it in your court. Thanks again for all the help

just ran into this issue, apparently its still not fixed.
priyanka.mv26priyanka.mv26
We should always declare the variable Savepoint sp inside a method and not outside method. This fixed the issue.

ran into this issue while tried to use httpresponse as class member, i.e. public HttpResponse res {get; set;}
when i removed it and defined it internally the problem was fixed
