in case this will help anyone I got it to work by declaring the field to be transient. (The Eclipse plugin is extremely helpful with this)
You can also do this in tc-config on bean level:
Code:
...
<bean name="myBean">
<non-distributed-field>logger</non-distributed-field>
</bean>
...
or using DSO-style definition for transient fields:
Code:
...
<jee-application>
...
<transient-fields>
<field-name>com.package.BeanClassName.logger</field-name>
</transient-fields>
...
