Server-state serialization in a session in Mojarra
问题 Going through an abstract in a book, I came across this: On the server side, the state can be stored as a shallow copy or as a deep copy. In a shallow copy, the state is not serialized in the session. By default, JSF Mojarra uses shallow copy. I seriously couldn't understand this. Since in the above case, we will have- javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD set to server , and an input hidden field javax.faces.ViewState with a value somewhat like this "2870966362946771868:-8449289062699033744" .
