How to reduce the size of AjaxStateHolder object in the session in JBoss EAP 5?

Solution Verified - Updated

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 5.0.1
  • RichFaces 3.3.1.SP2

Issue

  • The org.ajax4jsf.application.AjaxStateHolder object in session is too big. Can we reduce the size of this object?

Resolution

  • AjaxStateHolder is the Richfaces implementation of the JSF state saving manager. It stores the saved view state in this object.

  • Unfortunately there is no easy fix. This is how JSF works, and how A4J works. There is a Content from issues.jboss.org is not included.jira which describes this and the best answer is to reduce the number of views you store through the web.xml:

    <context-param>
     <description></description>
     <param-name>com.sun.faces.numberOfViewsInSession</param-name>
     <param-value>1</param-value>
     </context-param>
    <context-param>
     <description></description>
     <param-name>com.sun.faces.numberOfLogicalViews</param-name>
     <param-value>1</param-value>
    </context-param>
