Questions about KeepAlive

[moacirrf]

Hi, there!

First, sorry my bad english im from Brazil...

I have two questions about keepalive:

1- Whats the differences between keepalive annotation and tag? Because when i use keepalive tag, my application dont work, when i use annotation its works, i am using facelets.

2- I have a problem, I need "clear" the saved state with keep alive, because:

I have one page (registerpatients.jspx) , in this page, i have two panels(SearchPanel, EditPanel ), when i click on button to edit, i set rendered false to searchPanel, and set rendered true to editPanel, on edit panel i have two buttons(Save and Cancel ).

<h:commandButton id="cancelButton" action="Home" value="Cancel"  immediate="true" />

When i click on button cancel, i go to Home page, but when i try open again registerpatients.jspx, this page open directly with editPanel rendered.

I cant do something like this:

<h:commandButton id="cancelButton" action="registerPanelBean.setRenderedDefault" value="Cancel"  immediate="true" />

Because, cancelButton is in a template, so, many others page use it.

One more time, sorry my bad english!

1) need more details for this problem. code snippets and RF version.

2) set ajaxOnly=true - then the bean will be stored only for ajax requests.

Ilya,

we're having the same problem.

Apparently for some reason the a4j:keepAlive tag isn't working (anymore, I believe it did before), but when replacing the tag with the annotation everything is fine again.

I'm not sure what you need to detect the problem though.

Using facelets 1.1.15, jsf 1.2_14-b01-FCS, RF 3.3.2.SR1

Sorry guys!

I forgot that i had created this post.

I dont know the difference between annotation and tag, but when i used the annotation, the application behavior is equal session scope(but request scope)

To resolve i created a Phase Listener(I am not proud), when the user change "from page A to page B", phase Listener remove the managedBean of page A.

My suggestion is(if you dont have time to fix it) dont use keepAlive annotation, use tomahawnk SaveSate.
