Hi, is it possible to introduce performance hints in myfaces-core? Hints similar to javax.faces.component.visit.VisitHint but related to performance improvements. Example:
For dataTable like: <a:dataTable <a:column> #{aExpression} it's completely unnecessary to save per-row state. Currently there is no elegant way how to do read-only table (state per-row is always maintained). If user wants (fast) readOnly table, he/she must extend UIData and re-implemenent setRowIndex method. But hint say "org.apache.myfaces.core.UIData.saveRowState"=false can solve it elegantly - if present (in component.getAttributes()) UIData skips row-state-saving and restoring methods entirely. Lifespan of those hints can be request (faceContext.attributes) or view (component.attributes) WDYT? Regards, Kočičák See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-3111 too.
