I debuged it and it seems during postbavk the viewId is null. The UIViewRoot.viewId is returning to be a null..Does Seam manipulate with viewId . Or did i miss anything...Please help

here is my pageflow::


`
<pageflow-definition xmlns="http://jboss.com/products/seam/pageflow"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation=
            "http://jboss.com/products/seam/pageflow http://jboss.com/products/seam/pageflow-2.2.xsd"
        name="start">
       
         <start-page name="starthello" view-id="/hello.xhtml">
                        <action expression="#{hello.initialize}"/>
                        <transition name="namaste" to="namaste">
                                <action expression="#{hello.testTransition}"/>
                        </transition>
         </start-page>
       
          <page name="namaste" view-id="/menu.xhtml">
                <end-conversation/>
                <transition to="end"/>
          </page>
         
           <end-state name="end"/>
</pageflow-definition>
`

my pages only contain a command button

like hello1.xhtml::


`<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>

<body>
        <h:form id="helloForm">
                <h:outputText value="You are not inside the conversation"></h:outputText>
                <h:commandLink id="GuessButton" value="Go to Hello" action="starthello">
                        <f:param name="conversationId" value="#{conversation.id}"/>
                </h:commandLink>
        </h:form>
</body>`





The same sample works with JSF 1.2....Have anyone tried out Seam 2 with pageflow in JSF 2...The seam 2 samples doest work...and the samples in the book JSF2 API and Seam only mentioned about JSF navigation..it doesnt mention about pageflow...

I'm not sure that Seam 2 is supposed to work with JSF2.
