Save point with POJO DataControl not saving model state

Question

Hi Guys,
JDEV 11.1.1.6 64bit
I was able to get save points working with ADF BC (AppMod, View & Entity objects)
but when I tried to do the exact same with Pojo DataControls, I won't save
the current state of the model - meaning things are not "selected" to the
proper record when the SP is restored. I don't get any errors, it just
shows the wrong data.
Example:
The BTF is marked as must have transaction(tried either way), but this is Pojo, and doesn't support Trx.
edit-emp-dept.jspx (with BTF Region)
BTF START
    STEP 1: RichTable with bindings to Pojo DataControl (value="#{bindings.allDepts.collectionModel}")
                 (user selects the 3 record => sales department)
    STEP 2: Edit Sales Dept & on click to next step create SP
    STEP 3: View Emps (Rich Table of ALL emps in that DEPT)
    STEP 4: Edit Emp
    FINAL: COMMIT (save to pojo list) or CANCEL (don't save to pojo list)
/BTF END
At STEP 1 -> STEP 2, the SP is created, and when I close the browser at STEP2, 3  or 4, and
restart, and choose SP to restore, it takes me to proper page (STEP 2)  but the wrong Department is
selected to edit (it shows "Finance" instead of "Sales") & if I hit my ADF back button, it shows
the table with "finance" selected.  In the ADF BC world it works perfectly.
I know the docs say: the ADF Model is saved, so the question is why bindings.allDepts.collectionModel
not "saved" here for Pojo DC and the ADF BC af:table value="#{bindings.DepartmentsView1.collectionModel}"
it is "saved".
Thanks for any insight or work-around.
Sincerely,
Joel

Hi,
the problem with POJO DC and other non-ADF BC models is that they don't passivate their state. In JDeveloper 12c we allow developers to extend their POJO classes with ADF lifecycle methods that allows them to save the model state themselves. Its a known issue that the transaction state cannot be saved for non-ADF BC models. I checked the bug database for bugs filed against this behavior but could not find one- I can imagine that with 12c we would have a chance to allow developers to handle passivation / activation for non-ADF BC model states. So if this is a feature you need then filing an enhancement request would make sense
