[jira] [Commented] (MYFACES-3983) ViewScopeBinding does not work, results in an exception when using a datatable

["Leonardo Uribe (JIRA)" <de...@myfaces.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-3983?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14744625#comment-14744625 ] 

Leonardo Uribe commented on MYFACES-3983:
-----------------------------------------

The reason why this happens is binding attribute does not work on view scope beans. There is a part in JSF spec that warns about the side effects of use "binding" attribute on beans with session or similar scopes. 

The problem starts in the postback. When the view is being built, the binding from the previous request is reused. Why? because the view scope bean still lives in http session. One could detect this case, but the problem is "binding" attribute is used to provide custom component creation too. I'll take a look to see if we can find a solution.
