conversation state affects retrieval of entities - possible bug

[x490812]

I wish to list entities in a table ,then perform crud ops on the list. I am using an entityhome object to manage my entities. Here is my entity with the pertinent code...

@Entity
@SequenceGenerator(name = "TBLREQUESTS_SEQ", sequenceName = "TBLREQUESTS_SEQ", allocationSize = 1)
public class Tblrequests implements Serializable {
     @Id
     @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator = "TBLREQUESTS_SEQ")
     private long id;
.
.
@OneToOne
     @JoinColumn(name="PAYEECODE", referencedColumnName="PAYEE_CODE", insertable=false, updatable=false)
     private PayeeCodes payeeCodes;
.
.

1) main page displays a table of items and has an add button. The table gets the list from this function

public List<Tblrequests> getStuff()
     {
          EntityManager em = this.getEntityManager();
          List<Tblrequests> l = em.createQuery("from Tblrequests").getResultList();
          return l;
     }

2) I click add button - the action is /wizard.xhtml.  I clearInstance() before I get there, so that when I get there a new instance will be created. In pages.xml I start a new conversation via a begin conversation

<page
     view-id="/wizard.xhtml">
     <param
          name="adjReqID"
          value="#{adjustmentRequest.id}"
          converterId="javax.faces.Long" />
     
     <begin-conversation join="true" />
</page>

3) I go through the wizard and save the item - which calls an overriden persist on my entityhome new instance

public String persist()
     {
     assignUser();
     setCreatedMessage(createValueExpression("successfully " + (isManaged()?"edited":"added") + " Request for loan " + getInstance().getLoannumber()));
     super.persist();
     return "home";
     }

4) In pages.xml, the return value from persist triggers a return to the main page, where I want to display the list of items, refreshed with the new item

<page
.
.
<rule
     if-outcome="home">
     <end-conversation />
     <redirect view-id="/main.xhtml" />
</rule>

HOWEVER, when I get back to the main page, the list returned from the getStuff() function above holds all the original entities, but the new entity I just created is in the list, but not completely populated; The onetoone relationships are not retrieved. Yet, onetoone relationships should be eagerly loaded, and hacking the query to eagerly load has no affect

What I found is that if I put before-redirect in the end conversation above, then when I return to the main page, the list of entities is completely populated, but I lose my conversation and my faces messages because the conversation is ended before I return to the main page.

Why does the ending of the conversation affect the retrieval of the entities?

How can I keep the conversation until I leave the main page so that I can retain my facesmessages? I thought that was the purpose of a conversation
