I realized it was the flyweight pattern, but I couldn't find the actual
code where the state was being restored. I guess I should have just read
through all of UIData instead of stepping through the code -- all of the
magic was happening in setRowIndex(), which calls the methods for saving
and restoring state (at least in MyFaces).

I'm basically just trying to figure out how to get the value of a component
inside of the DataTable inside of a method that's called after validation
has occurred. Looks like invokeOnComponent will do because it handles the
state management for the rows.
