jsf view expired imply session destroyed?

Question

I have a question :

When jsf view has expired, can we be sure that the session is destroyed and all its attributes are removed ?

Thank you for responding me.

Answer 1

No. It's the other way round, provided that javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD is set to its default value of server. Then a session destroy indeed implies an expireation of all views saved so far in the session. If the state saving is however set to client, then the view never expires.
