Hi In JSF 2.2 it was decided to store view scope beans always in session (take a look at the description of @ViewScoped annotation in the javadoc). But you can just call facesContext.getViewRoot() and use the attribute map. Just remember the values there must be Serializable or implement StateHolder.
In my understanding, this was done in this way to support @PreDestroy annotation when the session is expired. regards, Leonardo Uribe 2014-02-12 23:28 GMT-05:00 user 01 <user...@gmail.com>: > I'm using Myfaces 2.2 with Client-side state saving.
