Ok, so did you begin a long-running conversation with cid 1? By default, Seam is always going to create a conversation for the processing of a request, but you must promote that conversation to long-running if you want it to continue. join=true will start a long-running conversation if there is no long-running conversation to join. Also, have you checked the seam.debug page? Is conversation with id 1 sticking around in memory? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4088400#...
