Hi Thomas!
I would
not have expected the request scoped beans to survive between requests but I
would have expected the beans/properties serialized by the <t:saveState>
component to survive. I thought that <redirect> just updated the URL.
The "redirect" directs JSF to send a real http redirect response to the
browser.
The browser then will fetch the data from this new URL - so this is
really a new request.
After pressing a command button (or link) the following (very
simplified) will happen:
* browser requests url a
* jsf executes your action
* based on the result the navigation will be determined
* jsf sends "redirect to url b"
---
* browser REQUESTS url b
* jsf loads view b
Without <redirect
* browser requests url a
* jsf executes your action
* based on the result the navigation will be determined
* jsf loads view b
Ciao,
Mario
