There is a "transient" attirbute being specified in the myfaces distribution. I can't really figure out what its being used for. >From what I can tell its value is being added to the components property map but its never being accessed. Furthermore, this attribute is incorrectly listed in the TLD of every *standard* jsf component as well as the extended ones (see MYFACES-85).
Maybe some of the original myfaces folks remember who added this and why? I think we might want to consider dumping transient completely if we can't prove its actually being used by anything. sean
