[seam-dev] Seam REST and WELD-001303 No active contexts

The REST service beans are usually scoped RequestScoped. Mixing REST and JSF is really useful, just like it works with Remoting and JSF. I use the latter quite a lot when 1) JSF component doesn't do what I want it to do, and 2) I need to send some UI state info back to the server; like what tab in a tabview is selected etc. What would be the appropriate way to handle this? Since REST is REST, we don't want to mess up the session store and have the back-end operate incorrectly.

However, would it be possible to demote the conversion scoped beans to request scoped beans? From a programmatic point of view, it all boils down to being able to interact with ConversationScoped beans from a RequestScoped REST bean. If not, a  more comprehensive implementation/architecture must take place. In a mixed environment (JSF/REST), you're likely to delegate business logic to Dependent scoped beans, and proxy two delegates 1) into a ConversationScoped JSF bean variant, and/or 2) RequestScoped REST bean variant. Hence, you'd end up with one dependent scoped impl bean, with two scoped variants. When the object graph expands, it'll be complex to maintain. This has a clear impact.

Btw, how's this done in Remoting to back JSF?

> I agree that Conversations should be supported for other connections besides JSF, however, with REST or any web service call there is a problem about tying a request to a session, you'd either have to have the client's support sending cookies in their requests or create store like a session yourself. If you go with the latter approach then it should be fairly easy to (well, as easy as creating passivation capable scopes is) to create a scope that would work with this cache / store.
