Hi Jacob,

I wonder if you could explain this a little more; I don't completely follow.  It seems to me that if you have a (managed) Person entity in the parent conversation, and (in a nested conversation) you add an address to it (something like person.addAddress(newAddress) ), the newAddress will not be directly in the parent conversation, but it will be directly referenced by Person, which is in the parent conversation.  And thus entityManager.flush() would cause newAddress to be persisted, even if the user backbuttons out of the nested conversation.

So, I'm guessing you're not doing a person.addAddress(newAddress) kind of thing.  What are you doing?

Thanks for the posts, guys!  I think nested conversations need to be discussed more.
