Navigation conceptual question

[msduk]

This sort of situation crops up a lot of the time for me so I would be interested in the seam solution to this problem.

I am in the middle of a long conversational process but midway need to view some details. I start a new converstion with nested=true so that the previous state is maintained. The page is then viewed and we can link back with another action that closes the top level conversation and pops the other one.

So far so good. However the page I just viewed needs to be visited from three other pages and in each case i need to go back to that page.

Is there a nice seam way to do this sort of thing?

Thanks in advance

I have been having this problem too. I need a nice clean way of returning to the page I have just left. I assumed that seam conversations would allow me to do this somehow.

In this case I decided that I could use a icefces modal dialogue... how very web 2.0.

I would still like a nice way to do this however and I cant help but think seam has a solution. Passing parameters around is so old school ;0)

Yes, I agree. It is very common situation.

I also use nested conversations for this. You should end your nested conversation by java code.

//@End
 public String cancel() {
 Conversation.instance().endAndRedirect(true);
 return null;
 }

or

//@End
 public String cancel() {
 Conversation.instance().end();
 Conversation.instance().redirectToParent();
 return null;
 }

I am not sure for 100% for correctness of this code, but it works for me.

Thanks very much, I will give this go.
