question about seam conversation

[jjlang]

hello, dear all
A question about the conversation scope have been puzzled me for a long while.
If I have a long running conversation, but I left it without any @End method called, I have doubt that when the conversation end?

need your help

On your components.xml you can define the timeout for a conversation, using the following line.

<core:manager conversation-timeout="10000"/>

Be careful: the conversation-timeout only affects background conversations.

You typically either end a conversation or the conversation is abandoned (e.g. you open a new tab and start hit a different URL or use case, etc.)

IIRC abandoned conversations will timeout with the current HTTP session (e.g. when you close your browser) or when the application is re-deployed or the app server is restarted.  Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here.

Perhaps the Seam core dev team should rename the conversation-timeout to background-conversation-timeout to avoid confusion?
