begin-conversation in wildcarded page elements

[codelion]

I've coded this out, hopefully about as elegant as one can in that sections of code ;) Changed three source files.

Should I make a JIRA and submit the diffs for review?

Point is that I want to be able to have a whole directory or all of a site to default e.g. to <begin-conversation join="true" /> unless it is overridden.

Think ease of use for an apprentice working with me.

Do you want something like that:


<page view-id="/(subcontext/)*" >
<begin-conversation join="true"/>



?

Because this works for me just fine ... Maybe I misunderstand.

And if you have under a wildcard page, e.g.

<page view-id="/somedir/*">
 <begin-conversation join="true"/>
</page>

a more specific page without begin-conversation, e.g.

<page view-id="/somedir/specific.xhtml">
 <param name="specificId" value="#{specificHome.id}" />
</page>

does the specific page then still observe the <begin-conversation join="true"/>?

Thanks for pointing that out!

Looks like it is working, as far as I have tested it. That's neat.

There was no mention in the reference documentation, so I didn't even think it was possible.
