I'll have to think on this some more.

The REST service beans are usually scoped RequestScoped. Mixing REST and JSF is really useful, just like it works with Remoting and JSF. I use the latter quite a lot when 1) JSF component doesn't do what I want it to do, and 2) I need to send some UI state info back to the server; like what tab in a tabview is selected etc. What would be the appropriate way to handle this? Since REST is REST, we don't want to mess up the session store and have the back-end operate incorrectly.

However, would it be possible to demote the conversion scoped beans to request scoped beans? From a programmatic point of view, it all boils down to being able to interact with ConversationScoped beans from a RequestScoped REST bean. If not, a  more comprehensive implementation/architecture must take place. In a mixed environment (JSF/REST), you're likely to delegate business logic to Dependent scoped beans, and proxy two delegates 1) into a ConversationScoped JSF bean variant, and/or 2) RequestScoped REST bean variant. Hence, you'd end up with one dependent scoped impl bean, with two scoped variants. When the object graph expands, it'll be complex to maintain. This has a clear impact.

Btw, how's this done in Remoting to back JSF?

I agree that Conversations should be supported for other connections besides JSF, however, with REST or any web service call there is a problem about tying a request to a session, you'd either have to have the client's support sending cookies in their requests or create store like a session yourself. If you go with the latter approach then it should be fairly easy to (well, as easy as creating passivation capable scopes is) to create a scope that would work with this cache / store.

If it is a regression, please create a JIRA with attached Arquillian test(s).

The below test case impl doesn't track any sessions and the conversation only survives per method call. So the lifecycle to it isn't proper :) It's nothing more than a workaround.

It'd be better to have support for ConversationScope in Seam REST. Maybe I'm doing something wrong here, but my code case is as simple as:

1) PU produces a ConversationScoped entity manager in Seam Persistence

2) The REST service makes a call to a Stateful ConversationScoped bean, in which invokes the ConversationScoped PU

3) REST service beans are used to accommodate natural REST crud on top of a JSF page.

That's all there are to it. The deployment includes solder, faces, international, persistence, transaction, security, conversation-{weld and spi} and rest. I'm investigating ways to make a hybrid model that uses JSF and REST. So far so good, except for the aforementioned.

Since you're using REST, how are you tracking the session? If don't have some way of doing that you'll end up possibly creating a new session / conversation with each request because it isn't tied to the same session.

Jason,

Thanks for your feedback and maybe this is a regression. I made an interceptor to make my test code work, but I'm not sure what implication it'll have in a production environment.

I'd have to go through the seam conversation code as it is not documented. But I don't think the interceptor will work as in REST there isn't really a session to tie the conversation to.

I have configured class>org.jboss.seam.faces.context.conversation.ConversationBoundaryInterceptor</class> in WEB-INF/beans.xml and seam-faces is used. In fact I use both JSF and REST.

Anything else that needs to be wired up?

If you're using Seam Conversation and starting the conversation it will work. Out of the box, conversations don't work outside JSF.

Hi guys,

I'm getting a "WELD-001303 No active contexts for scope type javax.enterprise.context.ConversationScoped" when making a call to a REST service that invokes a ConversationScoped bean.

Did I miss a configuration setting, or isn't ConversationScoped supported?
