This is a general UI design question. We are implementing a event scheduler for recurring events (like the one in Outlook) where events can recurr on weekly, monthly or yearly schedules.
The PanelStack seems like a good way to go to provide three panels, only one of which is visible based on choices made by the user. The UI is backed up by a model bean which I was hoping to use saveState to manage however.... the PanelStack component only renders the currently visible panel which means that if the user switches panels, the model managed by saveState gets duly updated with null values for the non-rendered components and therefore looses state -- if the users switches back to a previous panel the state has gone. So.. what options are available? Any disabled component does not get updated when the form is submitted so is there another way? It would be nice to use existing components rather than hiding divs (which actually works with saveState!). Perhaps an extended PanelStack component which uses JS to hide rather than not render the panels.
