Gavin.King: I have a question for long, and i read seam_reference at least 3 times but still do not find the answer. Please help me. The question is: I have an home page with two links: 1)<s:link action="#{register.start}" value="Register" propagation="end"/> 2)<s:link action="#{userSearching.start}" value="Users Info" propagation="end"/> When i push on them, old converstaion will stop[propagation="end"] and new CONVERSTAION-scoped conversation will start[XXX.start is annotated with @Begin]. Now, i finish registeration with register.uploadPicture[ annotaed with @End] and hope to start the converstaion of "userSearching" by executing #{userSearching.start}, but pages.xm does not support to do so!!! How shall i do? <!-- registeration step1: set basic info --> <page view-id="/pages/sys/user/register.xhtml"> <navigation from-action="#{register.register}"> <rule if-outcome="FAILURE"> <redirect view-id="/pages/sys/user/register.xhtml" /> <rule if-outcome="SUCCESS"> <redirect view-id="/pages/sys/user/setuserimg.xhtml" /> <!-- registeration step2: set user picture and end the conversation. --> <page view-id="/pages/sys/user/setuserimg.xhtml"> <navigation from-action="#{register.uploadPicture}"> <!-- =========== ********************=========== I want to start userSearching conversation by executing "#{userSearching.start}" , but how??? =========== ********************=========== --> Session-scoped userSearching is heavy, so i use conversation-scoped conversation. I hope pages.xml can be set to start the userSearching conversation indirectly rather than to jump to userSearching page[usersinfo.xhtml] directly. NOTE: I want to query and delete user in userSearching conversation , but do nothing more--that is why i use it as a conversation-scoped stateful session bean. Now most things work perfect, but when i finish register user, jump to usersinfo.xhtml directly, and select one user to modify[ start other conversation:action="#{userModifying.selectObject(hot)}" ], NOW, this it will jump to debug.seam and tell me something wrong with conversation. I DO NOT think you need to read below codes, but i show them to make things clearer. ********* register CONVERSATION************ @Stateful @Name(value = "register") @Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION) public class RegisterAction implements RegisterItf { ..................... @Factory("newUser") @Begin public void start() { newUser = new User(); } @Destroy @Remove public void destroy() { } public String register() { if (this.checkCaptcha().equalsIgnoreCase("FAILURE")) { return "FAILURE"; }else{ return "SUCCESS"; } } @End public void uploadPicture() { ............................. } }//END OF CLASS ********* userSearching CONVERSATION ************ @Stateful @Name("userSearching") @Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION) public class UserSearchingAction extends CommonSearchingAction implements UserSearchingItf { @DataModel private List queriedObjects; @Begin public void start() { // initialize queriedObjects } @Destroy @Remove public void destroy() { } @DataModelSelection @Out(required = false) private User selectedObject; public void delete() { //delete user here } } *********** usersinfo.xhtml begin****************** <rich:dataTable id="dataTable_queriedObjects" value="#{queriedObjects}" var="hot" rendered="#{queriedObjects.rowCount>0}"> <f:facet name="header"> <rich:columnGroup> <h:column><h:outputText styleClass="headerText" value="username" /></h:column> <h:column><h:outputText styleClass="headerText" value="Action" /></h:column> </rich:columnGroup> </f:facet> <rich:columnGroup> <h:column>#{hot.username}</h:column> <h:column> <s:button value="Delete" action="#{userSearching.delete}"/> &#160; <s:button id="modifyObject" value="MOdify User" action="#{userModifying.selectObject(hot)}" propagation="end"/> </h:column> </rich:columnGroup> </rich:dataTable> *********** usersinfo.xhtml end****************** Thanks and wait for your answer!
