Improved documentation for Nested Conversations
-----------------------------------------------
Key: JBSEAM-1982
URL:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1982
Project: JBoss Seam
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 2.0.0.CR1
Reporter: Jacob Orshalick
Nested conversations have been discussed at length on several occasions on the forum. The
documentation states:
"A conversation may be thought of as a continuable state. Nested conversations allow
the application to capture a consistent continuable state at various points in a user
interaction, thus insuring truly correct behavior in the face of backbuttoning and
workspace management."
This gives the impression of use of nested conversations to achieve a continuation server
approach. This approach is possible and is described at the forum reference, but it seems
that most developers use nested conversations for sub-flows ending the conversation at the
end of the sub-flow. This does not allow back-buttoning to the sub-flow (which seems to
be in conflict with the documentation above).
(I will add a link to an article describing the continuation approach in a few weeks,
perhaps it could serve as a patch)
