[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-1982) Improved documentation for Nested Conversations

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)
