Cannot restore component state, what to do in this case?
I have a weird scenario I've been unable to solve, I wonder if you have
any ideas.
All the beans are request, I'm trying to avoid session beans for now
1) I have page1Customers, with a list of customers:
customer1 [edit]
customer 2 [edit]
2) when I click on "edit" I get the "page2Products" bean via
valuebinding and call it's setCustomer() property, so the page2 knows
which customer I'm talking about
3) In that "page2Products" I print
product1 [edit]
product2 [edit]
product3 [edit]
And if I click on edit I'd go to see the product detail.
However, this doesn't work. The reason? Since it is a request bean then
after the page is submitted:
4) Page2Products.getProductList() is called, but since the customer
hasn't been set it can't return the list of products for that customer,
I can't restore the component state without the customer data, since the
products depend on the customer
5) Since the datatable couldn't be restored the onClick action in
productXX is never called
6) After that, setCustomer is called, and then getProductList() again to
render the datatable, and I end up in the same page since the onClick
was never called
Any suggestions? I think I've reached a dead-end
I was trying to avoid using session beans because that gives me a lot of
trouble when the user is browsing the application in 2-3 windows at once.
