I have this Seam POJO Action @Name("bean") @Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION) @Conversational public class BeanAction implements Serializable { @Begin(join=true) @Create public void create(){ log.debug("Starting Conversation id: "+ Conversation.instance().getId()+" long running?: "+Conversation.instance().isLongRunning()); } When I browse bean.xhtml (facelets/jfc), the log says Starting Conversation id: 1 long running?: false Why false, thought it should be true? And, when I submit a form on the page like this <h:commandButton value="Submit to Method" action="#{bean.method}"> <s:conversationPropagation type="join"/> </h:commandButton> I get an exception saying my bean isn't in the context. And it seems that the conversation isn't available, which would make sense if it truely isn't long running, right? I'm quite confused, so my message may be lacking information to totally make sense. If so, ask questions. javax.servlet.ServletException: /bean.xhtml @59,55 binding="#{bean.table}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'bean' resolved to null at javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:256) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:290) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) at org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamFilter$FilterChainImpl.doFilter(SeamFilter.java:83) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4121997#...
