hello, i'm using myfaces 1.1.3 and shale 1.0.3 and tomahawak 1.1.3
i have a page, list.jsp containing a list of items the list is initialized by a shale backed backed bean that execute's its init() method prior to loading the page the init method checks to see if its a postback request if its not then it requeries the database my question is if i click on a link and display the details of an item on the list and i click a link to "back to list" the database query runs again, because its not a postback request my question is how do i solve this, making the "back to list" function work without hitting the db i know that i have to put a flag to tell the shale ViewController class to query/not-to-query the database. Or is my current method of obtaining the list is not-exactly-right? please advice. thank you.
