Hello After reviewing a section which was problematic in the past, I want to comment on the viewstate handling again: jsf.ajax.html <update id="javax.faces.viewstate"> locate and update the submitting form's |javax.faces.ViewState| value with the |CDATA| contents from the response. Locate and update the |javax.faces.ViewState| value for all forms specified in the |render| target list. Does this really suffice, what if the element is not a form, what if the form is inside a render target or outside a render target. Currently in myfaces we deal with those cases because the viewstate needs to be updated wether the target element is a form or not. What happens if you only execute but dont render? Or if you execute in one form and render in another? Werner
