wschwendt, Thanks for the information. Yes, I understand how the Seam managed persistence context works, in theory. I suppose my question relates more to how the Seam managed persistence context maintains managed entities with respect to nested conversations... So if I have an entity in my outer conversation, say Person as before. I loaded my Person instance in the outer conversation with a Seam managed persistence context which means my Person instance remains managed for the course of the conversation. Now I navigate to the Address details page which nests a conversation, 1. Does the snapshot of the Conversation context include a snapshot of the *managed entity*? 2. If I make changes to the Person in the nested conversation, since this is a *managed entity* does it make any difference in the semantics of the outer vs. nested conversation? 3. Will I still be able to revert back to the outer conversation snapshot of my Person object as I can with a detached entity? I will have to create an example that tests this behavior with attached entities as I know it works with detached entities. If anyone could provide any insight, that would be great. Thanks again.
