no-conversation-view-id doesn't work

[jiangliu]

Hi all,

I have defined no-conversation-view-id to point to my index page when the cid is lost or not provided and my whole website is stateful.

When i manually access one of my pages (not the index page) without providing a cid in the URL, i can receive a newly-generated cid automatically from Seam and switch between different pages with the same cid. By this point, everything works pretty good. However, when i enter the same URL (without cid) again, when i switch between different pages, the cid number is keeping increasing and all my page functions are broken (e.g. HttpSession).

So could anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance

Have you marked these pages conversation-required?

I am not sure, so probably i can say No.

Could you provide more details on this?

Thanks :)

If no-conversation-view-id must be placed in pages.xml than what is the reason for placing it in pageflow definition i.e.:

<!--pageflow definition file -->
<page name="complete" view-id="/locations/complete.jspx"
no-conversation-view-id="/locations/browseLocations.jspx">
 <redirect/>
</page>

<!--pages.xml file -->
<page view-id="/locations/complete.jspx" conversation-required="true"
no-conversation-view-id="/locations/browseLocations.jspx" />

As i observed is that if no-conversation-view-id (together with conversation-required="true") is not placed in pages.xml then redirection does not take place even if pageflow file contains same attribute for corresponding page.

If so, please file a JIRA issue with a reproducible example so we can take a look.

i.e. it should work!
