Btw, what I think might be the way to do this is the following: | // get the mapping action | CatalogMappingAction mappingAction = (CatalogMappingAction) Component.getInstance("catalogMapping", true); | assert mappingAction != null; | | // associate this with the current conversation | Context conversation = Contexts.getConversationContext(); | conversation.set("catalogMapping", mappingAction); | Here catalogMapping is the @Name of a SFSB. It will not already be in the current conversational context. My intent is to look it up, pass some state, then have this SFSB instance available in the conversation from this point on. Thx!
