[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Conversation management in a desktop-like applikation

[jbuechel]

I'm developing an application which has a similar look and feel as a desktop app. So there is a dropdown menu.

What i've done to open the different modules from the menu is just like this:

old menuItem.xhtml
<rich:menuItem value="#{messages.menu_manage_persons}"
  | 				action="/modules/manageCatalogs/persons/main.xhtml" />
  | .....

As i'm thinking of having a new long-running-conversation on each (more complex) module.
For ending the previous conversation for each menu item i ended up in writing a more complicated (more code) solution as following:

new menuItem.xhtml
<rich:menuItem value="#{messages.menu_manage_persons}"
  | 		action="#{navigationManager.managePersons}" />
  | 
new NavigationManager class
@Scope(ScopeType.STATELESS)
  | @Name("navigationManager")
  | public class NavigationManager {
  | 
  | 	public void queryOnlineDirectory() {
  | 
  | 	}
  | 	public void managePersons() {
  | 
  | 	}
  | ...
  | 
new entry in pages.xml
	<page view-id="/*" login-required="true">
  | 		
  | 		<navigation from-action="#{navigationManager.queryOnlineDirectory}">
  | 			<end-conversation />
  | 			<redirect view-id="/modules/queryCatalog/catalog/main.xhtml" />
  | 		</navigation>
  | 		<navigation from-action="#{navigationManager.managePersons}">
  | 			<end-conversation />
  | 			<redirect view-id="/modules/manageCatalogs/persons/main.xhtml" />
  | 		</navigation>
  | 		....
  | 	</page>
  | 

I tried quite a lot ways to get around the NavigationManager class, but i couldn't figure out to achive this..

It would be greate if someone could give me a hint how to get around the use of the NavigationManager class (there are much more menu items of course and i don't like to implement this "needless" class)..
