myfaces-impl-1.1.3 instantiates the request scope bean

[Elliot Khazon]

Hi all,
myfaces-impl-1.1.3 instantiates the request scope bean every request (like it suppose to), however it doesn't retain any state information about the bean even though t:saveState tag is specified.
When I use myfaces-impl it works just fine:
Here is how i use the bean.

Bean.java
---------------
private String value = "";
private int number = 0;
public Bean() {

}


getValue() {
return value;
}


setValue (String v) {
value = v;
.
.
.
initBean (int n)
 number= n;
}


page.jsp
------------
<f:view>
<%
int number = req.getParameter ("number");
if (number != INVALID_VALUE) {
   //if value wasn't invalid then init the bean

 FacesContext facesCtxt = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 VariableResolver variableResolver = facesCtxt.getApplication().getVariableResolver();
  Bean myBean = (Bean) variableResolver.resolveVariable(
                                                                    facesCtxt, "Bean" );

myBean.initBean (number);
}
%>


  <t:saveState id="Bean" value="#{Bean}">
   .
   .
   .
   .

</f:view>

faces-config.xml
-------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE faces-config PUBLIC
  "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JavaServer Faces Config 1.0//EN"
  "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_0.dtd">
