Matthew Bathersby Visualforce Data Loss on ReRender
I have a simple controller that is designed to act as a time. As so:
Each method is tied to a button ('Start Timer' and 'Stop Timer'). When I run the startTimer method, I can see the startTime value in my debug.
When I run the stopTimer method, I can see the stopTime value in my debug, but the startTime has been reset to null.
Why is the startTime value not being maintained in the state? I know I must be missing something small, but I can't for the life of me spot it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
public class timerController {
public static dateTime startTime {get;set;}
public static dateTime stopTime {get;set;}
public static void startTimer(){
startTime = system.now();
system.debug(startTime);
}
public static void stopTimer(){
stopTime = system.now();
system.debug(startTime);
system.debug(stopTime);
}
}

you just have to remove 'static' keyword from your code.

Http protocola are stateless and salesforce introduced view state to maintain the http elemts data. But there are 2 exception in that case, the variables which are static and transient doesn't maintain the state on the page. Please dont use static ,transient if you want your page to retain the variable values. Thanks!!
