Hi Chris,

thank you.

Sorry, I didn't explain well. I intended from an "html page" point of view.
Example: I have a page with a form. I'd like to track its lifecycle
both for the "rewind" and "render" phase
(I use T4 "rewind" term to indicate that the application is "exiting"
from a page, and "render" to indicate the application is entering into
the page)

Here's an example log of the page lifecycle when I press the submit
button of its form:

--- cut here ---

>> page is rendered; click the submit button of the form:

====> [TRANSACTION] transaction begin...
myPage : pageAttached
myPage : onActivate
** db initialization...
myPage : onSuccessFromForm
myPage: onPassivate (1 time)
<==== [TRANSACTION] closed the entity manager...

myPage : pageDetached

<< form submit was successfull; T5 redirects to the same page;

====> [TRANSACTION] transaction begin...
myPage : pageAttached
myPage : onActivate
** db initialization...
myPage: onPassivate (x times)
<==== [TRANSACTION] closed the entity manager...

myPage : pageDetached

--- cut here ---

It seems to me that pageDetached is executed for both "rewind" and
"render" phases.
I'd like to know if there is an API or a strategy that I can use in
onActivate method (or another initialization method) to know if I am
exiting or entering the page.

For example, I'd like to enter into a page and use onActivate() to
initialize business data from the db and store it into a cache
(session).
Then, when I press the submit button of the form contained into the
page, T5 will re-execute onActivate() again.
At that moment, I'd like to know if I am in the "rewind" phase. If so,
I could get the data from the cache (and then remove it from the
cache, too)

When T5 re-enters into the page and re-executes onActivate() (3rd
time), I will check if the page is in "render" phase.
If so I will query the db again to get "fresh" data.

Regards,
Luca
