From the tutorial: "If the request is a postback and errors were encountered during the apply request values phase, process validations phase, or update model values phase, the original page is rendered during Render response phase" (http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/tutorial/doc/bnaqq.html)
Does it mean that if view is restored in "Restore View" phase and then any apply request/validation/update model phase fails and skips to "Render response" that Render response only passes restored view without any changes to client?
Managed Bean:
package cz.test;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.RequestScoped;
@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
public class TesterBean {
// Simple DataStore (in real world EJB)
private static String storedSomeValue = null;
private String someValue;
public TesterBean() {
}
public String storeValue() {
storedSomeValue = someValue;
return "index";
}
public String eraseValue() {
storedSomeValue = null;
return "index";
}
public String getSomeValue() {
someValue = storedSomeValue;
return someValue;
}
public void setSomeValue(String someValue) {
this.someValue = someValue;
}
}
