MM> Hi Ed, MM> sure, CDI gives you the conversation scope - but the link between the MM> beans behind the page and the page (or several pages, like a flow) is MM> still not established. This is something we need to take care of. MM> Spring Webflow has it - we only have the global scope; from any page MM> we see any bean. I spoke on the phone to Keith Donald about this recently. He's working on SpringWebFlow 3, which will have a very strong integration with JSF 2.0. In there, he's working on a way to declare flows as java code.
