> The JSF specification requires that UIComponent provide implementations for the following new system event-related methods:
> - subscribeToEvent()
> - unsubscribeFromEvent()
> - getListenersForEventClass()
> Both Mojarra and MyFaces provide implementations of these methods in UIComponent.
> However, UIComponent itself does not provide any state saving implementation.  This is provided by UIComponentBase - ie. UIComponentBase handles state saving for system event listeners stored on the UIComponent instance.
> This approach is flawed in that it only provides correct behavior for component implementations that extend UIComponentBase.  Components that extend UIComponent directly will be subtly broken in that system event listeners can be registered, but will not be state saved.  Furthermore, since the system event listener storage in UIComponent is package-private, there is no way for components that extend UIComponent directly to handle state saving for registered listeners.
> The only option is for components that extend UIComponent directly to implement their own (redundant) storage for system event listeners so that the component implementation can provide its own state saving implementation.
> Since all of the Trinidad components extend UIComponent (not UIComponentBase), we'll need to implement such a solution in UIXComponentBase.
