Hello,
I think I know what is the "problem" here.
Weld uses lazy conversation init - that means we don't activate context until you try
and access a conversation scoped bean.
Now, in your example, the ConversationBean tries to begin() a conversation, then calls the
bean (which initializes the context and notifies the observer).
However, in the situation where you try and pass in a non-existing conversation, the
invocation to conversation.begin()[1] will blow up with NonExistingConversationException
and
you will jump right into the catch block[2] where you begin a conversation with given ID,
but you no longer invoke the bean, hence the context won't get activated.
Try adding the `bean.getMsg()` call to the catch block and see if that helps.
Note that CDI spec sets no requirements on how/when to activate the conversation context,
so the lazy behaviour is compliant with spec (and this is also why you saw no such test in
TCKs).
Regards
Matej

Hello
Thanks for the link. I had a look but I couldn't find any TCK tests
checking to see if an observer method will catch the new
ConversationContext being created for the "new transient conversation". To
check if a new conversation was activated I created an entirely fresh
server and ran the test application on it, the behaviour was the same, the
first url I pinged on this new server ended with "cid=" and the observer
didn't . Normally I've just been restarting the old server but restarting
frequently.
I've attached the recreate you requested. it consists of the three classes
attached to my previous email as well as a minimal html page. To run it
load it onto your server and ping
http://localhost:9080/ConversationContextTest/index.xhtml to see the
observer fire, and
http://localhost:9080/ConversationContextTest/index.xhtml?cid=99999 to see
the observer fail to fire.
Best regards
Benjamin

scope initilization obeserver
Hello,
I'd start by pointing you to CDI TCK as that's a good starting point to
see what's covered.
For your question, that would be this test -
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_eclipse-2...
And possibly few more in the same test class.
As for the linked classes - your `ConversationBean` is listening for
@Initialized event. Can you verify that a new conversation was activated
for your request instead of verifying that context was activated?
E.g. check IDs or something along those lines? I suppose that will hold
true and in that case it works just as spec requires it to.
From the top of my head I don't really know how we activate/deactivate
ConversationContext, I'd need to dig that up, but looking at CDI spec, it
doesn't mandate that it is activated every time again and it could already
be active for given request.
Plus from just the classes you linked, I cannot know if you test this with
no existing conversation or maybe with some long running one before you
try to send a request for non-existing one...and so on.
So if the above doesn't is not enough to answer your question, then we're
going to need a complete reproducer so that we both talk about the same
scenario :)
