Hi,
1) why are my pages getting redirected. This seems to be a behaviour
added by sandbox. I don't think it's needed in myface. How do i
deactivate this redirection thing?
2) This filter is clearly in sandbox, added by a phase cycle listener,
not in myface core, so JSF can live without it, how do i deactivate it?
3) My request parameters do clearly what they are supposed to be, they
are request time. I don't need them anywhere else. Especially the beans
that are created by JSF, the phase listener should be aware that they
are created each time by JSF itself and as such do not need to be stored
as JSF will recreate them after redirect. How do i tell this redirect
listener to remove them after redirection or to not store them?
This is not only a problem of serialization, this is also a problem of
keeping in session objets that should be removed from memory at end of
request. This is a problem when such objects begin to accumulate in the
session. They do not seem to be removed after redirect, meaning my
request time objects will probably grow and grow and grow in user session.
I wonder why this all cumbersome work instead of simply doing an
internal redirect in server?
Well i just need to remove this thing, is it already optional or do i
need to fill a Feature request to make it optional?
