What is the scope of JSF's UI component tree in Seam

[mgrouch]

In pure JSF app JSF's UI component tree would be in session. However in Seam there is a concept of
conversation and (I believe) in different conversations UI tree could be different. Does it mean Seam would store UI tree in conversation context?

Thanks

Seam does not manage the ui component tree. The actual component tree scope is request. In the end of the request the tree state is serialized and kept in the session and the state is restored on postback.

The UIViewRoot (root of the tree) is saved to the session (with a marker on the page) or serialized to the page depending on whether the state saving is server or client. Seam has no effect on this.
