If you have wanted JSF not to store any state now is your chance to try out the stateless mode of JSF.
It is as easy as doing the following:
<f:view transient="true">
Your regular content
</f:view>
And voila you are running stateless.
If you decide you do want some state to be kept at the server you can use the @xxxScoped annotations on your beans
Be aware that because of the fact that the stateless mode does not keep a view around the @ViewScoped annotation degrades to the same behavior as @RequestScoped.
OK I want to try it out, where do I get this version? Grab the latest 2.1 release from here
Please report any bugs you see with this at the regular Mojarra bug tracker!
