Conversation propagation issues
Not sure what's going on, but it's driving me crazy. We have one page where we start the conversation in the page.xml, then when we click an ice:commandLink the conversation stops and we get the @In must not be null exception. We've tried lots different things and I'll post the current sections. If someone could tell me what we're doing wrong I would really appreciate it.
