[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Nested conversation/seam object hidden by parent conversatio

[adam_just]

I have the following simple scenario (a modification of the booking example):  An aggregate entity, Business, with OneToMany relationships with Address, Contact, and Opportunity.  For managing Business, I have a Conversation scoped Stateful Session Bean/Seam Component, that also models an Address, a Contact, and an Opportunity (so that one may be selected and acted upon).

Another Stateful Session Bean is used for each of CreateAddress, CreateContact, and CreateOpportunity.  No matter what combination of annotations/code I use, the Seam Entity objects already visible in the parent conversation are found, and injected into the CreateXYZ Converstation, and the form is filled in with the existing values.  

In the CreateXYZ form, specifically selecting form values not associated with the parent's Object, but instead with the CreateXYZ Object/Action leads to a "Error model data update."  Using form values directly from the XYZ Entity leads Seam to inject the existing Entity from the Parent's conversation.

Attempts to reassign the @In XYZ object within the CreateXYZ Stateful Session Seam Component lead to a derived object not being properly created as a member of Parent (Business') Collection(s).

In the listings below, I have attempted to omit extraneous information.  Consequently, please forgive omissions not related to the issue at hand.

Thank You, Adam
