Use case: * a GET request loads a page, * page action starts a conversation * the initial page load contains an edit form * conversation continues while another page containing more details is loaded * navigation returns to the original page (have to set join="true" in the page's begin-conversation tag to make this work). Now I'd like to be able to fetch persistent data only on initial page load (to avoid a DB roundtrip when the page is loaded again.) How do I do that without support for page actions that fire only on first access in a conversation? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4102932#...
