If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that implement StateHolder (such as a `UIComponent` with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the `saveState` method on all those instances as well. This method must not save the state of children and facets. That is done via the `jakarta.faces.application.StateManager` This method must not alter the state of the implementing object. In other words, after executing this code: `Object state = component.saveState(facesContext);` `component` should be the same as before executing it.
