In pages.xml put something like : | <conversation name="testConversation" param-name="myID" param-value="#{widget.id}"/> | Then for your page use something like : | <page ..... conversation="testConversation"/> | This sets the conversation Id to the value of widget.id, but there are a couple of problems when using the conversation switcher. http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1423 However, for the most part, the good stuff works (like switching to a conversation for a specific widget Id if it already exists). The one sticky part I've come across is what to do with new widgets which technically don't have an id until saved.
