Thanks, it clarifies a lot. So the only way to implement what i need is to explicitly create a new onversation within the method body, is it correct? does the following link code begin a conversation before the select method of searchResults component is called? <s:link action="#{searchResults.select}" view="/details.seam" propagation="begin"/> Bye.
