Actually yes, I was using JSF 1.2 but since my application server (Weblogic
9.2) doesn't support J2EE 5, I decided to switch to 1.1 for full
compatibility.
The full scenario is this: I have request-scoped beans that need to be
initialized (load properties from database). I'm using t:saveState to keep
the values between subsequent requests.
In order for my init method to be called for these beans, I created an
abstract bean (which my concrete beans extend) with the following:
protected boolean initialized = false;
public abstract void init() throws Exception;
public final void setInitialization(String value) {
if (!isPostback()) {
initialize();
}
}
public final void initialize() {
if (!initialized) {
try {
init();
initialized = true;
} catch (Exception e) {
...
}
}
}
protected final boolean isPostback() {
RequestContext context = RequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
if (context == null) {
return false;
}
return context.isPostback();
}
The entry point is the setInitialization method. To ensure it gets called, I
created a managed-property in each of my beans (in faces-config.xml).
I don't know which phase it gets called in, but a while ago it worked
extremely well and in conjunction with Tomahawk's saveState, for subsequent
requests only the first would be initialized, whereas now, all of them are
:(
Should I switch back to 1.2? Is there anything I can do to use 1.2 in a
non-J2EE compliant app-server with any degree of confidence?
Thank you,
Francisco

you changed the version of JSF you're using? At
what point in the JSF lifecycle are you calling
isPostback()?
