To keep the canvas state, you have to store on the server all the
javascript associated with the requested drawing commands, so that the
canvas can be redrawn at any time.
Or better, you have an intermediate representation of the drawing
commands, that are then translated to javascript on demand. You only
store the intermediate representation, that should be concise.
You can imagine then a method to upload the canvas contents to the
server, but that needs support from 'gb.web.gui' 'lib.js' library.
