For very complex forms, encoding the allocated ID string results in a 
java.io.UTFDataFormatException

                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-2758
             Project: Tapestry
          Issue Type: Bug

    *   java.io.UTFDataFormatException

      org.apache.tapestry.form.Form#renderComponent (Form.java:217) 

A little digging found out that this can only happen for exceptionally large 
forms.  The relevent code:

RequestCycle.java:

  public String encodeIdState()
    {
        return 
CompressedDataEncoder.encodeString(_idAllocator.toExternalString());
    }

CompressedDataEncoder.java:

    public static String encodeString(String input)
    {
        Defense.notNull(input, "input");

        if (HiveMind.isBlank(input))
            return "";

        try {
            ByteArrayOutputStream bosPlain = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            ByteArrayOutputStream bosCompressed = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

            GZIPOutputStream gos = new GZIPOutputStream(bosCompressed);
            TeeOutputStream tos = new TeeOutputStream(bosPlain, gos);
            ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(new 
BufferedOutputStream(tos));
            
            oos.writeUTF(input);
            
            oos.close();

            boolean useCompressed = bosCompressed.size() < bosPlain.size();

            byte[] data = useCompressed ? bosCompressed.toByteArray() : 
bosPlain.toByteArray();
            
            byte[] encoded = Base64.encodeBase64(data);

            String prefix = useCompressed ? GZIP_BYTESTREAM_PREFIX : 
BYTESTREAM_PREFIX;

            return prefix + new String(encoded);
        }
        catch (Exception ex) {
            throw new 
ApplicationRuntimeException(IoMessages.encodeFailure(input, ex), ex);
        }
    }

ObjectOutputStream.java:

        void writeUTF(String s, long utflen) throws IOException {
            if (utflen > 0xFFFFL) {
                throw new UTFDataFormatException();
            }
            writeShort((int) utflen);
            if (utflen == (long) s.length()) {
                writeBytes(s);
            } else {
                writeUTFBody(s);
            }
        }

So for strings larger than 65K, we get the exception.  Yes, that's an 
incredibly large form!
