Hi everybody I see that the instance field that holds the current page number of a grid (org.apache.tapestry5.corelib.components.Grid.currentPage) is annotated with @Persist .
This has the probably desirable effect that f.ex. if I am on webpage A and it has a grid and I browse to its page #2 and then I go to another webpage and then I go back to webpage A its grid is still on its page #2 where I had left it. However in my case this is not desirable and I would prefer that the grid page number is not remembered across different webpages. Removing the @Persist annotation of Grid.currentPage instance field altogether would cause the impossibility to browse grid pages at all because the grid pager does a page reload and this loses the currentPage value, but persisting that value just until the next request - to preserve that value during the page reload - seems to work fine: I changed the annotation from @Persist to @Persist(PersistenceConstants.FLASH) and I'm testing my pages to make sure this works. However I am also wondering if in theory changing that persistency to flash might be a bad idea for reasons that I don't know and that my tests so far are not showing. Does anyone have any opinion about this ?
