Natural conversation for wildcard view-id
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-2608
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2608
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.0.1.GA
            Reporter: Jacob Orshalick
            Priority: Optional


When a natural conversation spans a number of pages you currently have to explicitly state the named conversation for each view-id. It would be nice to simply specify the natural conversation for a wildcard view-id.

For example, if my conversation spans the following:

Code:

<conversation name="Checkout"
                  parameter-name="cart"
                  parameter-value="#{cart.cartId}"/>

<page view-id="/checkout/checkout1.jsp" conversation="Checkout" />
<page view-id="/checkout/checkout2.jsp" conversation="Checkout" />
<page view-id="/checkout/checkout3.jsp" conversation="Checkout" />
<page view-id="/checkout/confirm.jsp" conversation="Checkout" />	

Instead I would prefer to use:

Code:

<page view-id="/checkout/*" conversation="Checkout" />	

This is also especially useful for free navigation situations within the conversation that do not have navigation rules (i.e. the conversation spans many pages but can access any page at any time) to avoid specifying each view-id in pages.xml.
