rich:progressBar and scoping-conversation mgmt
I have a rich:progressBar (actually two of them) and one a4j:commandButton to start the polling of them. One calls a web service and the other inserts into local DB.
I am having problems understanding/implementing conversation management for these two POJOs (if even required). I currently have them scoped to SESSION. But they ideally should not be session-scoped, rather event-scoped if possible (like a stateless service).
The problem is that there are instance variables that require the maintaining of state for subsequent method calls to use them (i.e. the getCurrentValue() method is called multiple times).
The http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/progressBar.jsf bean source does not use the @Name Seam annotation for obvious reasons (to keep it framework agnostic).
So what is the recommendation here? thx.
