Clientside statesaving and linkDummyForm

[Mads Henderson <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

We are using client side state saving and are having some problems
with the amount of data sent to the client.

It appears that all forms on the page contains a hidden input field
containing the (same) object representing the state. One form
linkDummyForm is always present, and then of course also the forms we
declare in the jsp pages.

It seems unnecessary to have the same information in all forms, is
there a way to avoid that?

Is there a way for me, in the cases where I need to declare a form for
some input fields, to make use of the linkDummyForm that is generated,
in order to avoid duplicating the state object all over the generated
html?

Thanks
Mads

For client side state saving, no there is no way, I can recommend to
move to server side state saving for various reasons.
One being the burden client side state saving causes onto the network, 
the browser and the server.

Not directly. (you always can find ways to bypass everything)

I was running into the same issue. I switched to server side state 
saving, since I think the
issues with the back button have been fixed(?).

Another option would be to have one large form surround every page, but 
I don't know how
correct that is. It would also make validation an issue.
