Question

If I define a static variable in a class having Page Scope, then what will be the Scope of the Static Variable? Will it persist the data even if I navigate away from that page and then come back to that page(here by page I mean the xhtml page on which I am referring to the static variable)?

Answer 1

Static fields are associated with the class, rather than with any object. Seam Scopes don’t change the meaning of static. The page context allows you to associate state with a particular instance, but if you assign a value to a static field that value will be share by all instances regardless of your Seam Scope.

Will it persist the data even if I navigate away from that page and
then come back to that page(here by page I mean the xhtml page on
which I am referring to the static variable)?

Yes, since you have one classloader for your web application, the scope of your static variable should be more than page scope.
