A question about termination of a conversation

[roflchap]

Hi,

Let's pretend in my JSF 2 and CDI Web App I have a workflow like this:

      index ->  step 1  ->  step 2  ->  step  3 -> finish
        |                                             |
        |                                             |
begin conversation                            end conversation

Now the user might press a link, say in step 1, that changes the workflow and goes into an arbitrary page:

      index ->  step 1  ->   foo  -->  bar
        |                    
        |                    
begin conversation

How is it possible to intercept cases like this and end the conversation?

Thanks in advance.

In Seam 2, the conversation would be abandoned and then cleaned up after it times out.   Not sure about CDI/Seam 3, but I'd guess it would be the same.

The conversation would timeout after a period of inactivity. The timeout period can be set by calling conversation.setTimeout(timeoutInMillis) on the injected conversation object.
