dynamically setting conversation timeout

[consuelofranky]

I want to set dynamically the timeout of current conversation through the method org.jboss.seam.core.Conversation.setTimeout() but this method seems not to have no effect as I explains next:

in a stateful ejb, in the method that launches a conversation I code:

import org.jboss.seam.core.Conversation;
...
@In
private Conversation conversation;

@Begin
public String selectHotel(Hotel selectedHotel) {
 ...
 conversation.setTimeout(600000);
}

but in the subsequent method of the conversation the instruction conversation.getTimeout() shows the value set for conversation-timeout in components.xml instead of 600000.

Thanks for any help or explanation about this behavior.

Seam will come around and overwrite any timeout values you set like that using the page timeouts. You'll need to set the timeout value in pages.xml or in the appropriate *-page.xml files.
