Ahhh... thank you Martin. So if I understand you correctly the model classes should be ok because they rebuild their state from one stored in the session. So, provided this is true, even using server side state saving, JSF would be good in a cluster. (Perhaps I'll paw through some of the source code so I can sleep better, but this would make perfect sense ;^)
