Is this the problem? I get the same problem if I just try passing in the dto itself, it evaluates to null. I don't think it is a conversational problem because the dto is used to create the link tag itself (the account number), so I know exists somewhere. Is this a lifecycle issue? This is how the demo apps are written, but obviously I'm doing something wrong here ;) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4064810#...
