Ok, got it running! :) I have to call a method on my component annotated with @Begin(join=true, pageflow="name") to start the pageflow AND converstation as long running. The problem when calling the Pageflow.instance().begin() is that there is no long-running conversation, at least in my case. I have set the pageflow start directive in my pages.xml which does reside in another project for unit tests and is only available when deployed in a container environment. Hope this does help anyone having problems. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4057383#...
