rich:contextMenu action in liferay portal

[prasad_pvk]

Richfaes 3.3.0-GA
Jboss portlet bridge beta6
liferay 5.2.1


When I right click for the context menu, menu appears but the action (when I hit on details menuitem) to the next page, instead of going to the detail jsf , it comes back to the same page:

The above scenario is working if I change the following context parameters as defined below in web.xml. However if I change as below, the issue its is breaking ajax calls and also hits NotSerializableException. It is also not good to use client side state saving.

Can anyone please adive.

I am attaching the code in zip file too, incase you want to look at it.

<context-param>
 <param-name>facelets.BUILD_BEFORE_RESTORE</param-name>
 <param-value>false</param-value>
 </context-param>

 <context-param>
 <param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
 <param-value>client</param-value>
 </context-param>

<rich:tabPanel switchType="server">

 <rich:tab label="offer">
 <h:form>

 <rich:tree style="width:300px" value="#{sampleDetails.data}" var="item" nodeFace="#{item.type}"
 stateAdvisor="#{csoTreeStateAdvisor}">


 <rich:treeNode type="customer" iconLeaf="/images/customer.gif" icon="/images/customer.gif">
 <h:outputText value="#{item.name}" id="customerNode"/>
 </rich:treeNode>

 <rich:treeNode type="offer" iconLeaf="/images/product_e.gif" icon="/images/product_e.gif" id="offerNode">
 <h:outputText value="#{item.name}" />

 <rich:contextMenu event="oncontextmenu" attached="true" attachTo="offerNode" >
 <rich:menuItem value="$ #{item.recurringCharges} / month" ></rich:menuItem>
 <rich:menuItem value="$ #{item.oneTimeCharges}" />

 <rich:menuSeparator height="5"/>
 <rich:menuItem submitMode="server" value="Details" action="#{sampleDetails.details}"></rich:menuItem>


 </rich:contextMenu>

 </rich:treeNode>

 </rich:tree>

 </h:form>
 </rich:tab>


 </rich:tabPanel>

the rich tree and context menu is working outside the portal, in the web app mode.

Any clues/thoughts? Please advice as we are entering critical phase of the project. I want to get this scenario working desperately.

It works if I change BUILD_BEFORE_RESTORE to false and STATE_SAVING_METHOD to client. but I cannot use it bcos its breaking the ajax calls and lot of other pages.

Setting BUILD_BEFORE_RESTORE to true and STATE_SAVING_METHOD to server, I have all the pages of the application working perfectly except for the context menu action in rich:tree.

PLease help.

Can any one pls explain the significance of

facelets.BUILD_BEFORE_RESTORE context param ?

and javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD ?

What is the impact if I have both these parameters - true/server, true/client, false/server, false/client?

Appreciate your quick response

Thanks
