I have an xhtml page with t:saveState references a backing bean. The backing
bean is serializable and I have two methods private void readObject, private
void writeObject however neither of these get called.
As I understand it these methods should get called when an object is
serialized. Is there something wrong with the JSF implementation of
saveState such that these methods do not get called as they should?
How do I verify that saveState is working correctly? After stepping through
the code, doe not look like the <t:saveState does anything at all.
Just a wild stab: JSF supports two different serialization mechanisms:
(a) java.io.Serializable, and
(b) javax.faces.StateHolder.
If your class implements StateHolder for some reason then those methods
will be called rather than readObject/writeObject.
But otherwise I cannot see any reason why it wouldn't be working.
You are providing an EL expression in the t:saveState value attribute, yes?
