com.oracle.jp.gcs.beans.MyBean is serializable and exists in the WAR appropriately.

For example:
There is "Cluster-0" with managed server named "Server-0" and "Server-1"."Server-0" is <IP Address 0>:7011."Server-1" is <IP Address 1>:7012.AdminServer is <IP Address A>:7001.
Issue can be reproduced with the following steps.

1. Deploy the application v1.0.
java weblogic.Deployer -targets Cluster-0 -adminurl t3://<IP Address A>:7001 -user u -password <Password> -deploy -name HelloJsf -source /HelloJsf.war -appversion v1.0

2. Access the application on "Server-0" directly ( eg. specified by IP and port).
http://<IP Address 0>:7011/HelloJsf/index.xhtml

3. Redeploy the app v2.0.
java weblogic.Deployer -targets Cluster-0 -adminurl t3://<IP Address A>:7001 -user u -password <Password> -redeploy -name HelloJsf -source /HelloJsf2.war -appversion v2.0

4. Access the application on "Server-1". (For emulating that primary server is downed.)
http://<IP Address 1>:7012/HelloJsf/index.xhtml

In this case, "Server-1" is secondary server for session.
