Ajax, Richfaces, Conversation and Refresh

[israel.bgf]

Well, i think that i do not fully understand the seam conversations, so could someone give me some answers?

I made this sample application to show my problems.


@Name("person")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
public class Person {
     
     private String name;

     public String getName() {
          return name;
     }

     public void setName(String name) {
          this.name = name;
     }
     
     public String random(){
          return Math.random()+"";
     }

}


----------------- my test.xhtml --------------------
     <ui:define name="content">
          
          <a4j:form id="form">
               Value:<h:outputText value="#{person.name}"/>
               Random:<h:outputText value="#{person.random()}"/>
               <br/><h:inputText value="#{person.name}"/>
               <a4j:commandButton value="Save" reRender="form"/>
          </a4j:form>
          
          <a4j:form id="otherForm">
               <a4j:commandButton value="End conversation!" action="#{conversation.end()}" reRender="form"/>
          </a4j:form>

          <a4j:form id="moreOneForm">
               <a4j:commandButton value="Just rerender!" reRender="form"/>
          </a4j:form>

     </ui:define>

---------------my page.xml-----------
<page view-id="/public/test.xhtml">
         <begin-conversation join="true"/>
</page>


Well, it's pretty simple, the random stuff, is just o see the rerender working. Well let's see the problem.

0 - I enter the page, and my conversation is promoted to a long-running-conversation. //ok
1 - I put a name (James) and press save. //Now i suppose that the person component is stored in the conversation context, and should be there until it founds an @End or something like that.
2 -Ok, the James appear in the output text, and i click the "Just ReRender" button. // All right, the output is still showing James, this means that the person is still in the context, as i expected.

Now.. the problems. If i press the refresh button in my browser, the James names disappear.. But why? I thought that the context would be destroyed ONLY when I invoked something with an @End, or the conversation time expired.

And.. if i pressed the "End Conversation" button.. well the conversation is still there, and the James name too. Shouldn't it be destroyed? What am i doing wrong?

Thks in advance.
