I tested successfully the rest of platforms with javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD=server && SERIALIZE_STATE_IN_SESSION=false && myfaces-20051030 .
Now I should have time to continue testing your suggestion: STATE_SAVING_METHOD=server && SERIALIZE_STATE_IN_SESSION=true && myfaces-20051103.
But now my testing fails at the very begin: the application didn't worked at all with state saving "server" - my ActionEvents weren't fired at all ( I mean very basic form buttons didn't work anymore). Turning state saving to the "client" it start to work again. I tried also with myfaces-20051107 and same results. Do you have any idea what could be changed in NB during 20051030- 20051103 so that it can have such effect?
