Is Seam instantiating your Home instance? If so, I would recommend looking at the timing of when Home is instantiated. You could do this by adding a method annotated with @Create and printing out a message. Home must be inserted into the conversation context AFTER the nested conversation is started (the event org.jboss.seam.beginConversation can be observed to determine when your conversation begins). Hope that helps. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4096110#... Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&a...
