Begin natural conversation programatically

[eirirlar]

What is the correct syntax for beginning a natural conversation programatically?

[nickarls]

Conversation.instance() doesn't have anything interesting regarding natural conversations so I guess it's just a normal begin call in conjunction with the pages.xml in section 6.6 of the manual.

Thanks for the reply. That would work, but I'm doing some nesting dependent on which conversations already exists, and pages.xml with a <rule if-outcome... doesn't do the whole job for me.

I found a solution however, please let me know what you think:

Conversation.instance().leave(); //make sure I'm not in a conversation already.
Conversation.instance().begin(); //start a conversation with the next available conversation id.
Manager.instance().updateCurrentConversationId("conversationNameAndId"); 
//update the id to the one of the natural conversation.
//make sure it fits the page I'm redirecting to after this action.

I guess we could make this easier for you - file a feature request in JIRA.

Tried to find a related JIRA issue without success. So I created a brand new one https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3400.
