2. Re: Conversation Wrangling
quaidbrown Jul 27, 2008 5:56 PM (in response to quaidbrown)I've read about how to stop a conversation when the user follows my links... but what if they hit the backbutton? I've got a page that starts a conversation when you enter it... using the
<begin-conversation join="true">
tag.
I can go to this page, click back, go to it again, click back, and watch the conversations add to the list on debug.seam
1 I thought join=true would make these merge? Does it do something special for the same conversation entry point being hit multiple times?
2: Any other conversation entry should cause a crash, unless I make it join or nest.
Here's the code... I can click the link to this page, and click back, over and over and start as many conversations as I want, despite join=true (which I hadn't even noticed before).
Then I can click somewhere else that starts a conversation, and watch it crash, unless I have join=true or nested=true on that conversation.

2: Any other conversation entry should cause a crash, unless I make it join or nest.Yes, assuming you have an foreground LRC. However if you click back to page in which you have no foreground LRC and then hit a plain begin, you won't get an exception
Here's the code... I can click the link to this page, and click back, over and over and start as many conversations as I want, despite join=true (which I hadn't even noticed before).Yes. That's because you left the conversation as I described. You can rejoin an explicit conversation if you want.
Anyway, get a good book on Seam.
