Tomahawk saveState
tag

This attribute is useful in persisting the
backing bean and its properties longer than request scope but shorter
than session scope by saving the state with the component tree.
Traditionally, state is saved with the help of HttpSession object.
MyFaces works differently without the use of HttpSession object. All state information of the current view and the model beans
are encoded automatically with the client response and get restored at the next client request.
If you want to save the whole bean then it can also be done with this
tag just specifying the name of bean in EL expression in the value
attribute. The same steps are followed in saving and restoring the whole
bean as in the case of properties of bean. If you want the value of a
bean property or the bean itself to be able to get saved and restored ,
it must implement the Serializable interface.
