Systems and methods that create persistence for an execution state via employing a logless component with persistent stateful functionality. The logless component is introduced as part of a runtime service that supplies transparent state persistence and automatic recovery for component based applications. Such logless component can avoid logging at a middle tier, and exploit logging that is already performed at a client side and/or various end point servers. The execution state can be re-created entirely via replay of the component execution, without the need to replicate the execution state or save the component's interactions in the middle tier.
