[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - conversation per view-id [natural convesation scope]

[koenhandekyn]

i'm developping an app part of which is plain editing of instances in a database.

i have recently discovered natural conversation scope, that cleary should get into the documentation soon !!!

i now find myselve repeating the below part for every entity (i have a list page and an edit page for each)


  | <conversation
  |     name="addressList"
  |     parameter-name="addressListConversation"
  |     parameter-value="main"
  |   />
  | 
  |   <page
  |     view-id="/up/admin/addressList.xhtml"
  |     conversation="addressList"
  |   >
  |     <begin-conversation join="true" />
  |   </page>
  | 
  |   <conversation
  |     name="address"
  |     parameter-name="addressId"
  |     parameter-value="#{address.path}"
  |   />
  | 
  |   <page
  |     view-id="/up/admin/address.xhtml"
  |     conversation="address"
  |   >
  |     <begin-conversation join="true" />
  |   </page>

[from pages.xml]

TWO QUESTIONS

1. for the list pages it would be ideal if there were a conversation per open window (in the same window returning to the same page would restore the same conversation, a new window starts a new conversation). CAN THIS BE DONE ??? ( i have been reading several related post but didn't find an answer to this: ie the subject : WANNABE EXAMPLE NEEDS HELP GROWING UP )

something like ???


  | <conversation
  |     name="addressList"
  |     parameter-name="addressListConversation"
  |     parameter-value="#{windowId}"
  |   />
  | 
  |   <page
  |     view-id="/up/admin/*"
  |     conversation="addressList"
  |   >
  |     <begin-conversation join="true" />
  |   </page>
  | 

2. is there a shortcut possible not te repeat myselves?

something like 


  | <conversation
  |     name="#{page}"
  |     parameter-name="#{page}Conversation"
  |     parameter-value="main"
  |   />
  | 
  |   <page
  |     view-id="/up/admin/*"
  |     conversation="#{page}"
  |   >
  |     <begin-conversation join="true" />
  |   </page>
  |
