I am a newbie to most of this stack - JDK 5, EJB3, JSF, Seam, etc. One of the concerns that I have had regarding JSF is the life cycle event structure (Restore View, Apply Request Values, Process Validations, Update Model Values, Invoke Application, Render Response). I like everything up to the Render Response.
At that point it is my limited understanding that when the Navigation Handler determines the next page it is too late to go back and obtain persistent data for the page. Thus each page is dependent upon the previous page event process for obtaining its necessary data. In my mind then we have a very tight coupling between pages - that does not work for alot of applications. So my questions are: First - is my JSF understanding correct, or am I missing something? Second - is there functionality in Seam that allows the Render Response phase to obtain persisted data after selecting the next page? Third - Is there anything in the (future) jBPM Navigation configuration for Seam that will allow the Render Response phase to obtain persisted data? (BTW - I am excited about this functionality) Fourth - If none of the above - any suggestions on how to create a generic capability to access persisted data once the next page is determined via the Navigation Handler? I understand that most applications will not want to go to the database twice - once for the event update and the second to obtain the new pages data. However, there are a class of applications where this is very important - as a example personalized apps. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
