Hi,
Before calling responseComplete(), that makes the lifecycle end, you
may need to save the state of the view by using the StateManager,
StateManager stateManager = (StateManager)
faces.getApplication().getStateManager();
stateManager.saveSerializedView(faces);
Calling it you save the component state information, used to restore the view...
Hope it helps,
Bruno

Hi
I'm experiencing the same problem, and would also be interested in knowing
if there are any solutions which don't involve bringing in another
framework.
If there isn't a solution, it would be great if someone could explain to me
the reason why this happens.
I think/guess it has something to do with the view state being build after
render response, and by calling responseComplete that phase isn't invoked.
Is that accurate?
Cheers,
Mike
