No, its not. Seam keeps the conversation id in the UIViewRoot, so if you want to change the conversation context from a partial render, you would need to render the whole f:view (which is not really a partial render!). This is definitely a limitation of the current design (closely related to our limitation that there may be only one conversation per page), but I believe it's perfectly fine for almost all purposes. However, this should be documented, since it is not at all intuitive unless you happen to know how Seam in implemented. So please create in issue in JIRA, asking for documentation, and assign it to me. Thanks. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4049118#...
