Thanks Pete, but if the object does not currently exist in the conversation, why initialize one? It can't provide a value for a link if it doesn't yet exist. Or is this needed so that Seam can push a value into the object from the link? If that is the case then why is it just not initialized when required? What would you advise for an application with a large-ish memory system comprised of s:link's? The destination for each link will be created right? Cheers, Damian.
