ADF/UIX - How NOT to loose currentRow? Iterator issue?

Question

Hi All,
I'm having a bit of a problem in keeping maintaining the state of a couple of views across pages; I'm hoping I'm just doing this wrong and someone can point me in the right direction.
Environment: ADF/UIX
1) From the first page the views (used in dropdowns) are manipulated and the current row set appropriately (I traced the app module and rows are indeed pointing where they should)
2) In an event handler <go name="Page2"/> is executed
3) Page2 references the views from the datacontrol used in Page1 (note that identical bindings are used) but the current row is lost. Tracing through the app module confirms that the current row is set to the first row.
Q1) Is there a way to keep iterators from being reset?
if not...
Q2) If not, is there a method on the AppModule on Views that can be overloaded to set the current row BEFORE the page displays?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the prompt reply Gabrielle!
I did a bit more testing and in fact it's one view which was causing the problem. A new row is created (and commited) for this view through the AppModule like this:
ViewXRowImpl row = vo.createRow();
row.setX( "...");
row.setY( "...");
vo.insertRow(row);
vo.setCurrentRow(row);
try{
   this.getTransaction().commit();
  }catch(Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace();
  }I hadn't realized that the iterator would get reset after a commit. Fetching the key before the commit and doing a findbykey afterwards solved the problem.
I think I'll implement a base view class that uses beforeCommit and afterCommit to set the iterator back to the desired location. I'm a bit surprised that it isn't the default behaviour though...
Thanks again for the help!
