Hello Kalle, and thanks for your reply.
I don't understand well why preserveDataModel should not work if used
with pageScroller. PageScroller is just a "normal" component providing
pagination, what would differ if I implement it in my program instead of
using it?
What I mean is: if the array is correctly restored for my application,
why it should not work for pageScroller?

Anyway, since they both are myfaces components, I expect them to
correctly work together so a warning or something similar in the
documentation would be welcome.

Thanks,
Alex
