Re: New Scope

[Travis Reeder]

Definitely.  I would also try to make it so that in faces-config.xml you could set <managed-bean-scope>window</managed-bean-scope> I think windowScope is a better term for this or frameScope rather than pageFlowScope because window or frame is more what it actually is. Travis Heath Borders wrote: +1! ADF missed a big feature, though. We should make a custom variable resolver that automatically checks the pageFlowScope Map for a variable name AFTER checking all the other scopes as required by the JSF spec. This would mean that you wouldn't have to prepend "pageFlowScope." onto all of your variable names. Also the <setActionListener /> sounds handy as well.

It prevents developers from some work on creating *detail* pages, as pointed out in the article. So here is my +1 on that!

Anyone opposed to working a new optional scope into my faces? I volunteer if everyone's ok with it because I really badly need this.

How does the server know that a new window has been opened? Unless the client tells it which currently it doesn't. So how do you decide when to create and when to destroy the window scope? I think the idea of Korhonen seems more practical although I quite don't see how to implement the deserialization behaviour in a consistent mannor without being corruptible by the client.
