Sorry about the delay getting to this thread.

If you can persuade it us it's worth us looking at we can distill it down for him and see what he says (yes, its worth looking at IMO :) ). Gavin is busy with Web Beans atm.

This is what you are supposed to be able to do.

I'm 90% sure this is a bug.  Do you have a JIRA issue open for it? Can you point me at it if you do? I need to review it carefully with Norman.

anonymous wrote : I'm puzzled by the fact that Seam offers nothing yet in this regard.  A feature like that would be highly useful when modeling complex flows and composing them of one or more subflows.  I hope that an output-mapper gets added to Seam, in order to avoid having to resort to ugly hacks such as writing from the nested conversation to the parent conversation scope.

Even if you were able to write attributes back to the parent conversation do you still think this would be useful?
