Immediate and input-fields that do NOT retain values

Hi everybody

I have read quite a few places that people have trouble clearing input - fields, when pressing a cancel button. I have the opposite problem.

I would like to keep data in input fields that have not been validated.

I have a page with some input fields and a commandLink to (temporarily) go to another jsp page (all with a portlet). I have set immediate="true" on the commandLink as I do not want the form submitted. But when I return to the page all data entered in the input fields are gone.

I switch between the pages using navigation in faces-config.

Is there a way to make data appear on the page although it has not been validated?

This problem drove me crazy last week.

The key point is the input field is nested in a dataTable then an immediate command will loose the user-entered data.

It's a bug that the developers don't want to fix.

See RI issue #73 https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=73

and MyFaces issue #632

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-632

Sorry, I should really have said the developers choose not to fix instead of "don't want to fix."

On the web.xml see

<param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>

Here you know what type of session saving you have.
