How to keep alive a ManagedBean between pages ?

[mariano.kocalka]

Hi Everyone,
i was playing a little bit with prime faces 2m1;
No matter with jsf2 scopes i've found @ViewScoped a great improve but going deeper i've found an old issue: "the navigation / keep alive bean handling" between page requests.

I've tried Flash scopes (part of jsf2 spec), but still requires some glue code (not particulary attractive).

For example in jboss-RichFaces i used to either use the keep alive tag in the xhtml page or use the @KeepAlive annotation within the controller;

Now im trying to move from RichFaces to Primefaces, wondering if there is something like keepAlive stuff ? how does primefaces users deal with this kind of things ?

Thks in advance!
Regards !

You can always start using CDI and you'll find ConversationScoped really handy.

If you've navigated between views, you're ViewScoped beans will reset.

Read about the different scopes here:

Sounds like you need SessionScoped
