Hey Martin,
I could be wrong, but I don't think it helps if converters implement
StateHolder under JSF 1.1. I think they're recreated each lifecycle.
JSF 1.2 does restore them instead of recreating them. Switching
to the facelets view handler will also restore them instead of
recreating them. This is based on info that Jacob Hook has told me
in the past rather than any research on my own part, though.
So while it's a very good idea to provide saveState/restoreState, It
may not affect the problem here.
