The default conversation scope spans only two pages

This is incorrect, if it is not further narrowed down after "...pages".

Ok, so I'm not insane (at least not due to this ;-) )

But I'm doing it just like it's done (famous last words) in the booking demo. That is:

@Stateful
@Name("passSearch")
public class PassSearchAction implements PassSearchFacade {
 ...
 @DataModel
 private List<Pass> passList;

------------------------------------------------

 <rich:dataTable id="passList"
 var="pass"
 value="#{passList}"
 rendered="#{not empty(passList)}">
 ...
 <h:column>
 <f:facet name="header">Action</f:facet>
 <s:link view="/passEdit.xhtml"
 value="Select"
 id="pass"
 action="#{passEdit.selectPass(pass)}">
 </s:link>
 </h:column>
 </rich:dataTable>

And the magic ain't happening. Maybe this is no longer a recommended way to do it, but I'd like to know why it's not working for me.

FWIW, I should have mentioned that passEdit.selectPass(pass) was getting called but that the pass parameter was null. In any event, I switched over to using a page parameter for the pass id. It seems like this is probably better anyway (bookmarkable).
