[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-2377) Conversation Switcher broken when using Explicit Conversations

Conversation Switcher broken when using Explicit Conversations -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-2377 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2377 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Reporter: Samuel Mendenhall Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.0.2.GA My test project consists of CatHome and KittenHome (hey, I like cats) with the respective entities, ect... On the create method of CatHome and KittenHome I have: @Begin(id="TheKittenConversation") @Begin(id="TheCatConversation") I have the standard conversation switcher syntax from the Docs. Now when I create a cat, then a kitten, then I go to switch back to the cat with the switcher, the page just refreshes and does not go anywhere. I did some debugging and the "actualOutcome" from the ./src/main/org/jboss/seam/faces/Switcher.java is the explicit id which in this case is "TheCatConversation". Ok, so the method returns this string, nothing happens, nothing is redirected, why would anything happen. However, if I just do @Begin instead of the explicit ids and rerun the project then this piece of code is hit and the redirect happens: else{ ConversationEntry ce = ConversationEntries.instance().getConversationEntry(conversationIdOrOutcome); if (ce!=null) { resultingConversationIdOrOutcome = ce.getId(); System.out.println("ce.getId(): " + ce.getId() + " redirection..."); ce.redirect(); } } But if I use explict, that is never encountered because isOutcome is true and the else is not evaluated: if (isOutcome) { resultingConversationIdOrOutcome = conversationIdOrOutcome; actualOutcome = conversationIdOrOutcome; } So I removed the if else completely and Explicit conversations and the conversation switcher worked perfect. The resulting select method looks like: public String select() { String actualOutcome; ConversationEntry ce = ConversationEntries.instance().getConversationEntry(conversationIdOrOutcome); if (ce!=null) { resultingConversationIdOrOutcome = ce.getId(); ce.redirect(); } actualOutcome = null; return actualOutcome; } which means the outcome returned will always be null, versus in the case of explicit conversations, be the explict conversation name.
