Well, it is not quite ready for use yet. The basics are there and the current nightly build of Hibernate Tools includes this, however it is not quite working OOB just yet and does not yet support associations. I'm working on this stuff for the rest of the week and sometime next week we will have something usable.

What kind of bugs in Facelets? I'm interested because I'm using it.

[theute]

A "duplicate id" kind of thing, i am not sure if it is related to Facelets or MyFaces.

[zealot]

On the last version of Facelets "duplicate id" problem was solved

[theute]

I used the CVS version but i am looking that problem with Jacob, i will let you know.

[zealot]

ok it will be nice. Thanks Thomas

Hi there,

* Nested conversations:
[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-79 ]
[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-36 ]

I'm really interested in your approach to this thing. What is more, we've developed nested conversation-like mechanism on Struts and then on Spring MVC.

The central notion there is stack. Yes, a stack. I belive this is basically a good idea to put the conversation on stack when new one is created. In this approach you don't have to care about names etc. You simply use the conversation peeked from the stack, and when the conversation ends it is removed from stack, and the previous one becomes current conversation, actually.

I'm not very familiar with Seam, I'm just started with it, but I think you may consider that idea.

Cheers,
Tomasz

Yes, "nested" means a stack.
