Page action without the long-running conversation

[oleg_p]

Hello,

I've faced the necessity to call the page action only when there is no long-running conversations.

Example pages.xml:

<page view-id="/main.xhtml">
   <action if="#{not conversation.longRunning}" execute="#{mybean.myaction()}" />
   ..... 
</page>

My question is the following - it seems that this is a hack and not a normal solution. Does anybody know the normal way to call a page action only when there is no long-running conversations?

This page action outjects a conversationally-scoped variable, which is fetched from the database and will be later used by JSF components of this page.

Thanks,
Oleg

Seems like a good solution to me!

Hi Pete,

Another solution I came up with is about events and observers.

@RaiseEvent is bound to the method marked with @Begin.

And the page action is marked with @Observer.

Thanks,
Oleg
