Actually I finally found an example on the web in which the restoreState
method actually takes responsibility of restoring the value bindings
internal state (see below) - can anyone confirm that this is the right
approach for properties with value bindings?

public Object saveState(FacesContext context) {
Object values[] = new Object[2];
values[0] = super.saveState(context);
values[1] = getValue();
return values;
}
public void restoreState(FacesContext context, Object state) {
Object values[] = (Object[]) state;
super.restoreState(context, values[0]);
Object savedValue = values[1];
ValueBinding vb = getValueBinding("value");
if (vb != null) {
vb.setValue(context, savedValue);
}

I have been looking through a number of MyFaces components to see how
state saving was implemented, and it turns out that all the components
I have checked simply implement the saveState and restoreState methods
by returning an Object[] containing their private properties.
But I keep asking myself "what about value bound properties?" If I
have a component which has a property X which may be bound to
#{someBean.someProperty} does that not mean that I need to restore the
value of the value binding?
I would expect that restoreState should check if X was bound with a
value binding and then restore the value of the value binding instead.
Could anyone please elaborate? Thanks.
