Using JSF with multiple tabs in one browser [duplicate]

Answer 1

MyFaces orchestra has a way of dealing with multiple tabs/windows (using the conversationContext get parameter).

Answer 2

Use Seam with the JSF framework you want.

The conversation context is perfect for using different tab. Just start a new conversation on each tab. :)

Take a look at the Booking demo

Answer 3

In JSF 2.0 you can use the view scope for this, annotable using @ViewScoped. You can even define custom scopes.

Answer 4

I don't think View Scope will work here. The question is specifically about a multi-browser tab scenario and my understanding with View Scope is that there is still one separate state per view (not per tab). In other words if you have the same page open in multiple browser tabs then you are at risk for sharing state.

This is mentioned here: http://www.java.net/node/692109

It seems like there are only two solutions to this problem: 1. CDI/Seam conversation scope (or something like it where an extra id is added to requests) or 2. Just stick to request scope / stateless app.
