Hi Pete, in fact, I want to make my search screen conversational, because I need to save some search criteria, e.g. searching a classmate, it need to first select a state, then choose a city based on the selected state, select-input school name, input name and begin searching, pagination.... After finishing searching, the front conversation bean become back-conversation and timeout cleaning after about 5min, or click finish search to end the conversation. Is it correct design, or you may suggest a better search pattern? Thank you. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4117179#...
