It made me crazy but I found it. It was a problem with my configuration faces-config.xml / pages.xml. I was doing almost the same thing of the booking sample (booking confirmation) and there I found the solution: I moved the navigation rules in the pages and (I think this is the reason) redirected the requests. But I'm facing another problem (or I'm doing something else wrong): In the booking sample language (meaningless for the sample but to show the scenario): I would like to include the hotel search result list in the template (having it visible also in the booking page) and I would like to select another hotel from the booking, and then start the new conversation having the same view-id, same action but using hotel.id to create different conversation id, through the conversation-param EL). To achieve this I blocked the conversation propagation in the hotel selection <s:link>, something like this: | <s:link action="#{myaction.begin}" value="Select It"> | <s:conversationPropagation type="none" /> | </s:link> | and configured the pages.xml as follows: | <pages no-conversation-view-id="/main.xhtml"> | <conversation name="convOne" parameter-name="myactionId" parameter-value="#{myhotel.id}" /> | | <page view-id="/main.xhtml"> | <navigation from-action="#{myaction.begin}"> | <!-- myaction begin method does not have @Begin annotation --> | <begin-conversation/> | <redirect view-id="/myaction.xhtml" /> | </navigation> | </page> | | <page view-id="/myaction.xhtml"> | <navigation from-action="#{myaction.begin}"> | <begin-conversation/> | <redirect /> | </navigation> | </page> | | </pages> | The effect is this: - the first time everything is ok, conversation started, promoted as a long running and so on... - when I try to book more than once Seam is unable to recognize (does not evaluate the EL #{myhotel.id}) and assigns a generated id but starts the conversation, promotes it as a long running... Can I achieve this with explicit natural conversation id? Am I doing something wrong or is a bug?
