Sharing a conversation/entity between Stateful beans ?

[lcoetzee]

Hi all,

two questions:

1.
is it possible to start a Conversation in a Stateful bean (say beanX), have possible Conversations ends in beanX, but also the possibility to continue the conversation in another Stateful bean (say beanY, through another view) where it does not have an explicit @Begin, but has explicit @End's.

2.
if I have an entity in beanX annotated with @Out (create=false,required=false), would I have access to that entity in beanY (annotated with @In(required=true) ? (Independent if it is the same conversation or not, depending if 1 is possible above).

Thanks

Yes and yes.

Hmmm...

I have tried quite a few different scenarios. No luck as yet. When I invoke a method on beanY (which does not have any @Begin annotations) I am thrown to the page resulting from @Conversational(ifNotBegunOutcome="fail") (as defined for that bean). It appears as if the conversation did not span the two beans.

Remove the @Conversational annotation. @Conversational enforces that the current conversation must have been started by the bean.

Aaahh... The small things in life ;-)

Did so and works like a charm !
