[weld-dev] Question about conversations scope initilization obeserver

Hello,
so after some tedious debugging (and fair amount of time figuring out how lazy conversation work in this case) I managed to get to the state you were seeing.
I think this is a bug - Weld doesn't fire @Initialized event in case where user attempts to restore non-existing conversation.
We correctly associate the request with new conversation before the exception is thrown (which is what spec requires and tests) but we don't fire the event.
Issue is here - https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WELD-2611
And I've proposed a fix here - https://github.com/weld/core/pull/1962
If you could try that and tell me if it works, that would be great.
Although I did use the same reproducer, so hopefully it'll work ;-)
Regards and have a nice weekend!
Matej
