Pageflow Not Creating JBPM Context Midway Thru Flow
I have created a pageflow that fails when a page contains controls like a converter and a rich:calendar. By fails, I mean the pageflow simply rerenders the current page and loses the conversation. Removing these controls allows the pageflow to proceed just fine. I have compared the logs in the two situations and found something interesting.
Here is when things fail:

As you can see, the issue seems to be this:
DEBUG org.jbpm.configuration.JbpmContextInfo - creating jbpm context with service factories '[]'
When things work, the JBPM context is created, but for some reason, the presence of components like f:converter and rich:calendar cause this not to happen. Just to see what happens, I substituted my own converter for the standard converter, and things worked great. But the calendar continues to cause me trouble.
Of course, the presence of the offending components is just a symptom of something else. Can anyone tell me what would stop the creation of a JBPM context midflow? How could components interfere with the context?
Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks.
