Source code of MyFaces
(branch 1.1.8) has usage of context parameter PARTIAL_STATE_SAVING_METHOD
in NavigationHandlerImpl.java .
Also NavigationHandlerImpl.java
has comment //Specs 10.1.3: default server saving
on 82 line.
This is PARTIAL_STATE_SAVING
behaviour or STATE_SAVING_METHOD
?
Variable declaration on line 66 confuse a bit... (stateSavingMethod)
The code you mention belongs to the very early attempts of PSS technique added in JSF 2. There is no relationship with the spec. Please update to a recent version of Apache MyFaces (2.1, 2.2)
