End doesn't really end the conversation in 1.1

[andrew.rw.robinson]

I have an event listener with an End attribute on it inside of a conversation scoped bean:

@Observer(UserContextUtils.APP_SET_CHANGE_EVENT_NAME)
 @End
 public void currentViewAppSetChanged(CurrentViewApplicationSetChangeEvent evt) {...}

There is no nested conversation when this method is fired. I was assuming that the long running conversation for this been would be ended and when this bean would be hit again a new instance would be created. Instead, nothing happens and my member variables are all still intact with the values from the previous conversation.

Here is the code flow:
pages.xml causes a load method to be invoked on a conversation bean marked with "@Begin(join=true)". This load method instantiates and loads data into a custom DataModel member variable.

User causes the event to fire which calls the method above with "@End". When the page is re-rendered, the data model is not null as expected and the user is displayed a old list of data.

From my log, here is what happens during the event:

16:03:51,304 DEBUG [LiveReportBean] Received application set change event. Old: COPY, New: APSHELL
16:03:51,305 DEBUG [Manager] Ending long-running conversation
16:03:51,305 DEBUG [Manager] Storing conversation state: 95
16:03:51,309 DEBUG [DebugPhaseListener] The phase INVOKE_APPLICATION(5) has completed.

Here is the rendering of the next page:

16:03:51,902 DEBUG [DebugPhaseListener] The phase RESTORE_VIEW(1) is about to start.
16:03:51,903 DEBUG [Manager] Found conversation id in request parameter: 95
16:03:51,903 DEBUG [Manager] Restoring conversation with id: 95

As you can see, although conversation #95 was ended, it is still open on the next request.

I am using Seam 1.1

[gavin.king]

Conversations ALWAYS propagate acroess redirects when you have SeamRedirectFilter installed. (Unless you end the conversation using Conversation.endBeforeRedirect().) This has been the case since early versions of Seam.

[gavin.king]

oh, you can also use @End(beforeRedirect=true)

[andrew.rw.robinson]

Thank you "@End(beforeRedirect=true)" was exactly what I was looking for. Didn't realize the conversation would propagate with the redirect filter and having the End.

Is there documentation on this (if so I'd like to see if there is more that I wasn't aware of)?

Never mind, found the description in the docs
