Hi, <em>
I think in a day or two I have to rest in a hospital because JSF is almost making me schizophrenic! ;-) </em> I have uploaded the source/binary of the sample app I am working on it: http://files.myopera.com/behrangsa/files/JSF-HOWTO.zip Just copy the exploded directory to Tomcat's webapps directory and it should run with no problems. Click on the h:selectOneMenu link, and then on the Show Items link. Then select an item from the menu and press the Select link. I thought this is gonna set the selectedItemId in the backing bean and show it when the page redisplays. But instead, a validation error occurs. The version that uses t:saveState doesn't work as well. Any ideas how can I make this work, without falling back to the session scope? <em> What I was able to accomplish in Struts and WebWork, just the same day I read a tutorial about each one of them, has left me scratch my head for more than a week. Yes, I could use the session scope, but I can't ask my customers to restart their app server once an hour! Nor do they have the resources to buy a supercomputer from Cray! </em> P.S: Does anybody know if it's just as difficult (or as inefficient) to implement this use-case in ASP.NET? -- "Science is a differential equation.
