What are jftfdi jffi doing to my query string?
We are using JavaServer Faces 2.2 (Mojarra 2.2.1) in our project. I noticed something odd.

What are the parameters jftfdi and jiffi doing? What is their purpose? It's part of the new JSF 2.2 feature as described by spec issue 949 . Basically, it enables JSF to identify the client window. It's basically the same as cid in CDI's @ConversationScoped and windowId in
