/**
* Responsible for storing sufficient information about a component tree so that an identical tree can later be
* recreated.
*
* It is up to the concrete implementation to decide whether to use information from the "view template" that was used
* to first create the view, or whether to store sufficient information to enable the view to be restored without any
* reference to the original template. However as JSF components have mutable fields that can be set by code, and
* affected by user input, at least some state does need to be kept in order to recreate a previously-existing component
* tree.
*
* There are two different options defined by the specification: "client" and "server" state.
*
* When "client" state is configured, all state information required to create the tree is embedded within the data
* rendered to the client. Note that because data received from a remote client must always be treated as "tainted",
* care must be taken when using such data. Some StateManager implementations may use encryption to ensure that clients
* cannot modify the data, and that the data received on postback is therefore trustworthy.
*
* When "server" state is configured, the data is saved somewhere "on the back end", and (at most) a token is embedded
* in the data rendered to the user.
*
* This class is usually invoked by a concrete implementation of ViewHandler.
*
* Note that class ViewHandler isolates JSF components from the details of the request format. This class isolates JSF
* components from the details of the response format. Because request and response are usually tightly coupled, the
* StateManager and ViewHandler implementations are also usually fairly tightly coupled (ie the ViewHandler/StateManager
* implementations come as pairs).
*
* See also the JSF Specification
