Hello: I have the navigation menu in my application as outputlinks to *.seam pages. When the page is taken thru the outputlinks, I begin the conversation by annotating the Factory method(s) in converstation scoped SFSB with @Begin(join=true). Now, if the STATE_SAVING is client, every time when i click on the link, i will get a new bean instance and hence the create method will be called. If i change the STATE_SAVNG to server, the same bean instance is returned every time so that even if the user takes the page from the menu again, the page will not get refershed. I am using Seam 1.1 GA, MyFaces 1.1.4 and ajax4jsf 1.0.5. Thanx Kevin View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3997189#...
