HOWTO: Create a getComponentFromParentConversation method

[luxspes]

Hi!

I am trying to create a method like this:

public Object getComponentFromParentConversation(String componentName) {
//Do not know here to begin!
}

Basically my problem is that I am inside a @PerNestedConversation EntityHome and I want to access some information stored in the EntityHome of my parent conversation.

Any hints on how could that be done?

Is this the wrong way to solve this problem? is it impossible to send information from an nested conversation in to the parent conversation when using @PerNestedConversation?

Any hints at all? Nobody here uses @PerNestedConversation in this way?

I have been dreaming it would be nice to have something like:

@Name("someClass");
@PerNestedConversation
public class SomeClass{

@In("someClass", fromParent=true)
public SomeClass someClass;

}

That would inject the instance of someClass from the parent conversation... Of course Seam does not have this feature now, but... do you think it makes sense to have it?
