Sai, It's not advisable to just copy the view state from your form - it will break the second you change your page structure. Also, recent JSF 1.2 implementations can be configured to expire view state as a security measure.
Usually I do a GET request to the form URL first, parse the resulting content (a simple regex will suffice) in order to get viewstate value and then post back the form data with the view state. I hope that helps, Chris. 2008/11/28 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Hi, > I am trying to post data to one page through post method > It is working fine from IE > When I am trying to get the page from my java program by sending input > data the same page is coming but I am not getting the results page based > on the input. > > When I examined the page there is one hiddenvalue '_viewstate' as that > page is developed by using JSF > From the result page I am extracting the viewstate value and when post > all the input including viewstate I am getting HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not > Allowed > > Please guide me how to procede > > > > > > > Thanks and Regards, > Sai, > pp3.2.46, BT Ipswich ISU, Bibb Way, Ipswich, > Suffolk, IP1 2EQ,UK > +44 1473 348748 > > >
