Hi, and thanx for the support. We've only observed this behavior in Google Chrome. I've registered a Jira for this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-3949
Cheers, Dan Østerberg -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: Leonardo Uribe [mailto:lu4...@gmail.com] Sendt: 14. januar 2015 01:48 Til: MyFaces Discussion Emne: Re: javax.faces.ViewState autocomplete Hi Yes, it could be considered a bug. But it looks strange to set it on a hidden field. Anyway, the argumentation is solid, so please create an issue. It could be great if you can say in which browsers this behavior happens. regards, Leonardo Uribe 2015-01-13 14:31 GMT-05:00 Werner Punz <werner.p...@gmail.com>: > Am 09.01.15 um 11:58 schrieb Dan Østerberg: > >> Hi, >> >> We have a JSF application where we mainly use ViewScoped beans, and >> add no-cache headers for all JSF pages.
