I'd like to gauge some feedback on how many folk uses stateful pages and how
they are used. Also how
difficult do you think it will be to convert the stateful page to a stateless
page?
Yes, I used stateful pages in most of my applications - and for some of
them even heavily (e.g. 1 moved from Tapestry and 1 from JSF).
The Click functionality for stateful isn't perfect (would love if all
components would work properly), it could be further improved, but so
far it was very helpful.
I think it would be quite difficult to convert existing applications :(,
and for some of them simply impossible (e.g. for projects where I left,
but the customer is upgrading to newer click versions and does small
improvements - but not such a big conversion).
As Jahid, I would also prefer an external project too that would still
keep (or even improve) this functionality for Click applications.
regards,
Andrei.
