<t:savestate To Preserve State In Request Scope

[Chacko Chen]

Hello,

I am using JSF 1.1 with Icefaces 1.8.0.

I would like to save state of my request bean when I navigate back to my page
My scenario is as follows
When I navigate from page one to page two, I would like to values in combo box's and datatable pagination be preserved
when I navigate back to page one from page two without using session scope.

For this I tried using <t:savestate. I implemented Serializable like the following

public class MyBean implements Serializable {

and in the page I added the following

 ><t:saveState id="saveCalcForm" value="#{bean}" />

But for some reason or the other I cannot get the page values in save state.
What could be the issue, could someone please help?

Thanks in advance.

please provide your faces config xml file also to debug this issue

[Chacko Chen]

Thanks a lot for the reply,

My faces-config.xml

 <navigation-rule>
        <from-view-id>/first.jspx</from-view-id>
        <navigation-case>
            <from-outcome>form1</from-outcome>
            <to-view-id>/second.jspx</to-view-id>
            <redirect/>
        </navigation-case>
    </navigation-rule>
    <navigation-rule>
        <from-view-id>/second.jspx</from-view-id>
        <navigation-case>

            <redirect/>
        </navigation-case>
    </navigation-rule>

[Chacko Chen]

Is the issue due to <redirect> ?

[Mallika gowd]

yes, that would do it for you.
