I'm about to start a large project and intend to use tapestry 5 but want to avoid using sessions due to scalability. The only issue I can see is losing form data when the validation fails because of the redirect after the post.
I've noticed the property tapestry.suppress-redirect-from-action-requests but in general I prefer this behaviour so I'd rather not use this if there is an alternative. Plus the documentation says 'This option should be used with care' which makes me nervous about using it at all. The only time I don't want a redirect occurring is when validation fails and form data needs to be presented back to the user without being persisted. Is there a way to do this because being forced to use session just for this reason doesn't seem worthwhile. I'm wondering what other peoples thoughts and approaches were to this problem. Has anyone used tapestry5 without sessions? Cheers, Jack
