I like to know where Glassfish stores the JSF component tree state when server side state saving approach is used.

I recently read an article about the difference between server and client side state saving. The URL is:
http://wiki.glassfish.java.net/Wiki.jsp?page=JavaServerFacesRI#section-JavaServerFacesRI-WhatAreTheDifferencesBetweenServerAndClientSideStateSavingAndWhatAreTheBenefitsDrawbacksOfEach

Basically, it says that the server side state saving approach uses less bandwidth, but more memory. Client side state saving approach, on the other hand, uses less memory but more bandwidth.

I like to find out exactly how much memory Glassfish uses to store the JSF component tree state. So I modified our application to use sessionmon(http://code.google.com/p/sessionmon/) to monitor the http session size.
  I am surprised that the http session size stays same no matter which state saving approach I use. It is always 3254 bytes.

JSF tree state is not stored in the http session. Where is it stored? Why it is not stored in the http session?

I use Seam 2.1 and JSF 1.2 on Glassfish 2.1.

thanks
