If the user returned the next day (or after any long enough amount of time), wouldn't the SFSB on the server have timed out (with any normal timeout setting)? When you implemented your wizard, were you able to use Hibernate Validators at all somehow in your validation/logic method in the pageflow bean, or was it some rather ugly coding? (I ask because don't Hibernate Validators run whenever their annotated property is populated rather than conditionally?)
