What is the purpose of the hidden field named javax.faces.ViewState, and how does it differ from the following hidden fields: - jsf_view_64 - jsf_tree_64
Also, I noticed some sample HTML outputs from JSF, and they had multiple javax.faces.ViewState hidden fields throughout the page. I also noticed each hidden field was on a separate table (i.e. no table had more than one javax.faces.ViewState), and that each occurrence of the hidden field had exactly the same value. Finally, I noticed that some tables on the page had this hidden field and others did not. What determines whether a table has this hidden field or not? I was just amazed by the huge inefficiency in having to transfer 3x the hidden form field data (when each hidden field value is so large as it is) when they all have the exact same value! Would this be a good case to use server-side state saving, because the bandwidth not doing so would eat up would be huge, right? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/javax.faces.ViewState-hidden-field-tf2864080.html#a8003754 Sent from the My Faces - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
