Hi Wolfgang,

the technic you propse should be much more promoted within the TYPO3
developer community.

It should be possible to serialize/unserialize a whole form view through
the session, so that you can receive the incomming data directly with
the original form.

Than you validate it. If validation fails, you simply display the form
view a second time, else you process the data.

This way the nature of a webforms behaviour comes most closely to that
of a traditional persistant computer programm.

Elmar
