> The application I am currently developing follows the following Form scenario:
> 1. User selects a DataModel element for editing which takes them to view editDataModelSelection.xhtml .
> 2. User makes changes to the DataModelSelection.
> 3. User selects an associated Object for editing which takes the user to sub-view editAggregateObject.xhtml
> 4. User makes changes to associated object and submits those changes.
> 5. This takes the user back to editDataModelSelection.xhtml view where the changes to the associated object are shown updated to the DataModelSelection.
> 5. User submits the changes to the DataModelSelection which persists both DataModelSelection changes and associated object changes as well.
> A conversation is nested when the user accesses view editAggregateObject.xhtml . This allows a user to back-button to the editDataModelSelection.xhtml prior to editing the aggregate object without causing state inconsistencies between what the user sees and what actually persists on submit.
> The trouble is the display of breadcrumbs through the ConversationStack. When the user traverses the following path:
> view editDataModelSelection.xhtml -> action(editAssociatedObject) conversation nested here
> -> view editAggregateObject.xhtml -> action(submitChanges)
> -> view editDataModelSelection.xhtml
> In this scenario, the breadcrumbs by default are displayed as:
> Edit Data Model Selection | Edit Data Model Selection
> This makes sense due to the fact that the nested conversation has the same view-id as the outer conversation. This continues the more times the user edits an associated object. The implementation I am using filters ConversationEntries from the ConversationStack based on the view-id so that the breadcrumbs are simply displayed as:
> Edit Data Model Selection
> regardless of the nested ConversationEntries in this scenario.  It is requested that the ConversationStack be filtered based on view-id to provide this as default behavior.  Thanks.
