conversationId is missed in the URL

[gfzhang]

I modified the numberGuess sample to simulate the senario of a wizard, that is, click a button to display a new page, but the there is no conversationId parameter displayed in the new page's url.

I add a button in the numberGuess form:

<h:commandButton type="submit" value="Interval" action="interval" />

when I click the Interval button, I am confused that:
(1)No concerrsationId is displayed in the url. I wonder if the conversation is still active.
(2)I expect the url of the new page to be:

http://localhost:8080/seam-numberguess/interval.seam?conversationId=2

but it is not. The url displayed is:

http://localhost:8080/seam-numberguess/numberGuess.seam

The application seems work well.

When I click the guess button, the displayed url is

http://localhost:8080/seam-numberguess/numberGuess.seam?conversationId=2

The following is the part of the jPDL file:

 <start-page name="displayGuess" view-id="/numberGuess.jsp">
 ....
 <transition name="interval" to="toInterval" />
 </start-page>
 ...
 <page name="toInterval" view-id="/interval.jsp">
 <transition name="back" to="displayGuess"/>
 </page>

Do I misunderstand something? What wrong with my modification?

I use Seam 1.0.1 GA.

Your advice is appreciated. Thanks.

JSF actions use a POST, and the conversation is automatically propagated with that data. The only time time you need the conversationId in the URL is when you do a GET. (if you redirect after a POST, then the redirect filter will add the conversationId for the GET that follows, so that might be why you are thinking you should need it)
