Jessek, thanks for your reply! I know there is 'convert' mechnism to save the network bandwidth, my understanding is, even with 'convert' mechnism, the question is still there:
That is, upon rewinding, the item list of the for loop is constructed from server side (e.g. by invoking getItemList() to retrieve data from backend database), or from the hidden fields biggybacked in the submission? And my second question maybe like 'why it is designed to be so'?
