Indeed, very less has been written/shed on the component tree itself, that seems to be source for a whole lot of problems when one takes on understanding JSF.
One of the quote I recently read on a social networking site-
LIBRARY - Because not everything on the Internet is true.
Neither the above nor its opposite holds true either.
This is a screenshot from Anghel Leonard's book- Mastering Java Server Faces 2.2
I think this is plainly wrong. The author seems to be confused on whether its the component tree that gets saved OR the states of the components in the view(tree of UI components)
Considering this thread by BalusC-
When the form is submitted and the view is restored, the JSF component tree is just rebuilt from scratch and all binding attributes will just be re-evaluated like described in above paragraph. After the component tree is recreated, JSF will restore the JSF view state into the component tree.
Don't forget to read the comments.
Nonetheless, I would love to clarify the above note. Is my understanding perfectly correct?
