Hi In theory, if there is no form there is no state saved, so the ajax received will not have the state and no postback could be sent. Ok, if the view state is saved in some different way by other alternate ajax component, the point in common is that any component that writes the state should call viewHandler.writeState() method (and stateManager.writeState() method).
Instead do something on the renderer, I think it is possible to do something on viewHandler.writeState() or stateManager.writeState() and keep the same proposed behavior. In jsf 2.0, we have to keep into account the method getViewState(). regards, Leonardo Uribe 2010/6/11 Werner Punz <[email protected]> > What about ajax and http get which perse do not post a form in all cases > but can post data back into the lifecycle? > > OK,http get is handled, but still there is ajax which can trigger > a post without a form. > > > > Werner > > > Am 11.06.10 16:13, schrieb Martin Marinschek: > > Hi Mike, >> >> 2) do something in the form renderer to indicate that the state needs to >>> be >>> saved, maybe setting a request attribute that can be checked in saveView >>> to >>> determine whether to actually save state or just return null. >>> >> >> I would lean towards option 2 - I don´t see how the saved state would >> be used at all if there is no form on the page - there cannot be a >> postback to it, so this memory is anyways wasted. >> >> best regards, >> >> Martin >> >> > >
