Problem with server side state saving ,JSF 1.1.1

Question

Hello,
In my web.xml  the.STATE_SAVING_METHOD setting is s server
<context-param>
        <param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
        <param-value>server</param-value>
    </context-param>
for measurement of application security isn't not allow to change this parameter to client , so the problem  when i access for application and i open a new page via linker for print for example and i would access for my initial page to make change or modify my initial page it s no possible to make any modification because i have a empty bean , but if the state saving is a client i haven't a problem because a tree map is stored in client browser, so my version of JSF is 1.1.1 ,
So can you explain the cause for his problem
and what's the solution for my problem ?
NB:i can't change the parameter for STATE_SAVING_METHOD for a client
Thank you

did you search this form, there were lot of discussions in the past about server side cookies, you may find an answer to your problem.
alternate approache for sending a value from parent page to the pop up window.
1. when opening the pop up pass the values along with the url (if the size of variable is small)
alternatively you can store the value in a hidden form field in parent window and access the same from poup window using
you can simple access the page one form field value in page 2 (pop up) by using the following code.
window.opener.document.getElementById('hiddenformfieldid').value
