I'll amend my last reply. When I'm in my Expense screen adding a new Expense there is a conversation running with a ProjectHome instance in it (presumably containing a Project instance). This context ends when I return to the Project screen. Perhaps this is the instance being updated not whichever one is in the default context (which definitely does hold a Project instance somewhere)? The problem remains though--how can I tell Seam I want to refresh/rerender the original Project? (If I nav away from the Project screen then return it renders the correct value--just not immediately after create/edit of an Expense.)
