Interesting. The ConversationEntries are obviously being populated. The conversationList is simply a manager component that calls the same method you are calling to retrieve the ConversationEntries, orders them, and provides them as a List. Try using #{org.jboss.seam.core.conversationList}. I wonder if the alias is having an issue. You could also try injecting the conversationList into your action @In(value="org.jboss.seam.core.conversationList") to print out what it contains in the log.
