Can't get it work with any release after 3.2.1 CR5

[guarf]

My page works fine with 3.2.1 CR5, but now fail with 3.2.1 GA and I can't find where is the problem.

I comment 99% of my page to find the problem, and im thinking the problem probably will not be in the .xhtml pages.

Please, any solution or suggestion ?

[ilya_shaikovsky]

could you show us your web.xml and page where the error risen?

[guarf]

I change the STATE_SAVING_METHOD from server to client and it works fine.

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

I don't know if this is a good choice.

Looks like the same issue with: http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4154795#4154795

[guarf]

Yes, but i report it first :)

I newbie with richfaces, i want to know the benefits of server saving method.

Congratulation! You are the winner.

This is not about RichFaces. State Saving method is a part of JSF specification and implemented on the level of JSF implementation (JSF-RI or MyFaces, like in your case).

JSF has to store information about the component tree (but not the whole tree) between the requests. In case of server side saving method, it is stored on the server. Otherwise, travels to the client and returns back with each request (ajax or non-ajax).
Server's method saves resources, client's one saves traffic. Both have benefits and drawbacks.

Thx for your answer SergeySmirnov !
