Re: Anyone know why the DataModels aren't Serializable?

Is clustering currently supported by JSF? I want to say it isn't, but, I've 
never setup a cluster, so, I couldn't say. I would assume that everything 
would need to be Serializable for that to work...

However, having said that I think it is VERY important that the JSF 
framework be "cluster friendly", which means supporting session 
replication. Large enterprise applications absolutely require that the 
presentation tier be supported by a cluster of JSP servers.

Anyone see a reason to _not_ make them Serializable?

I don't know why they're not serializable, but unless you have session
replication, or you're doing client-side state saving, my guess is
that a JSF application will not be able to survive a restart.

Normally,
I've always made my beans Serializable, but, now I'm not able to do so 
since
I'm making use of DataModels which aren't Serializable.
