Thanks. Please note the following bug in the seam 2 documentation: in chapter 3.1.4(Conversation context), it says that: anonymous wrote : | Some conversations last for just a single request. Conversations that span multiple requests must be demarcated using annotations provided by Seam. | When using redirect for displaying the view, the conversation context spans multiple requests, even if no special annotations are used (and the conversation is not long running).
