Auto-save JSF forms with Ajax: Part 1
Abstract: You'll learn how to submit Web forms with Ajax, how to use the JSF framework to handle Ajax requests, how to control the JSF request processing life cycle, how to manage form data on the server side, and how to identify anonymous users across browser sess
Introduction Many desktop applications let users save documents at any time, and many products automatically save documents being edited to minimize data loss if the application crashes. When users interact with Web applications, typically their data is saved only when the form is submitted to the server. Most Web applications don't allow users to save partially filled forms, close the browser, and resume the work later. In addition, if the user is suddenly disconnected because of a network problem, he/she cannot save data and some of their work might be lost.
