There's some info in the wiki page http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/SaveState
I think generally though you would use the saveState instead of the session. You can put a managed bean in a saveState tag and it will be saved in the page, probably in the viewState... I used it a while ago on a request bean but eventually we switched that to a session bean for other reasons and no longer needed the saveState tags. -----Original Message----- From: jhomuth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: mercredi 17 septembre 2008 12:05 To: [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SaveState Session or Not ? Hello List, I've a small question. We need to save some Data over more than one site but not for the whole session. That's why we wanna use the <x:saveState> Tag. But we can't find any documentation about the concept of saveState the tag. What we need to know is will the data be saved in the session until we discard it or will it passed again at any request. And are there any design traps we could fall in?. Thx for suggestions
