Do you have you thirdPartyHelper in the Conversation scope (or Session). eg: | @Name("thirdPartyHelper") | @Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION) If so then it could be that your suggestion action is taking too long and the conversation is reset due to the concurrent-request-timeout. If you think that this is the case try increasing the value in your components.xml. Mine is set to 10000 after having some troubles with exactly this issue. Cheers, Damian.
