The kind of the application is an administration application. Most of the views should be master / detail views with a list view (for searching and selecting) at the top of the view and a detail view representing the selected detail. When I switch between the logical areas I want to preserve the state of the other logical areas. I don't want to loose the information. The user should explicitly end the "unit of work". An additional possible feature would be to work with more than one instance of a logical area (e.g. access to two customers at the same time ) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4080983#...
