This problem seems to affect both the current management of the explicit conversation id (@Begin(id=...)) and the future solution (with the declaration in the pages.xml). Seam 1.2.1 seems to be unable to restore the current state of a conversation in this way: I made three simple POJOs: ActionOne.java: | @Name("actionOne") | @Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION) | public class ActionOne { | | private List<String> starttimes; | private int counter = 0; | | @Create | public void createit() { | starttimes = new ArrayList<String>(); | starttimes.add("Executing ActionOne @Create method"); | } | | // @Begin I don't know if this is needed or not, anyway, it does not work now both if it is | // present or not | public String startConversation() { | Logger.getLogger(this.getClass()).info("<ACTIONONE> START CONVERSATION METHOD CALLED"); | | Logger.getLogger(this.getClass()).info("<START CONVERSATION> IS THERE A LONG RUNNING CONVERSATION: " + (Conversation.instance().isLongRunning() ?

That's it. Is this a bug? Two questions on conversation management: - Can I expect that if I click say on the second link (the static id.. not correct but to understand) Seam will understand that I'm asking for that conversation and resumes it? - Is it legal to use the Redirect API knowing the conversation id (regardless generated or explicit) in order to redirect to that conversation? Both the questions without a LRC in place (s:conversationPropagation type="none") Regards, Raffaele Camanzo View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4032845#...
