Last notes on the night.
I have been trying many different configurations and debugging more. I
eventually got the client state to save correctly and the view to
restore correctly by using:
<context-param>
<param-name>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.CLIENT_STATE_METHOD</param-name>
<param-value>all</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.CACHE_VIEW_ROOT</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</context-param>
The problem is that facelets then kept re-building the view between
the execution of my action and the rendering of the view, which is
very odd since my action and outcome were null.
So I tried the following parameter, as that is where the facelets code
was switching on its value to rebuild the view:
<context-param>
<param-name>facelets.BUILD_BEFORE_RESTORE</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
Once I did that I keep getting this exception:
22:53:59,902 ERROR [DebugPageHandler] redirecting to debug page

There seems to be some power struggle between facelets 1.1.11 and
Trinidad 1.0.3, but I haven't yet been able to figure out what is
going on that is causing all the issues.
I have to give up for tonight. Hopefully the morning will shed some
light, but I think at this point I need help from the Trinidad and
Facelets team.
