[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - conversations, propagations etc ... - need explanation

Hi, I've started to experiment a bit with seam conversations in order to develop some sort of global strategy and patterns, which I'm going to use in my application. I developed a simple app with 2 pages: page1.xhtml | <s:link value="start" action="#{conversation.begin}"/> | page2.xhtml simply displays #{conversationList} in h:dataTable and includes | ... | <s:link value="start again" propagation="begin"/> | I performed several tests and noticed the following: 1. With no code modifications: Step 1: clicking on "start" on page1.xhtml starts new conversation Step 2: clicking on "start again" on page2.xhml creates new conversation too. Actually, I expected "java.lang.IllegalStateException: begin() called from long-running conversation, try join=true" on step 2, according with the documentation. 2. Changes in page2.xhtml: | ... | <s:link value="start again" propagation="join"/> | Step 1: clicking on "start" on page1.xhtml starts new conversation Step 2: clicking on "start again" on page2.xhml joins current conversation Can anyone explain why this happens ? From my point of view step#2 in test#1 has to generate exception. I'll appreciate a good explanation of seam algorithm/steps, which is/are used in order to determine whether the long running conversation is active or not. Thank you in advance, /Alexander View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4095905#...
