How to start a new conversation by commandLink?

[banzeletti]

Hello, I come from Seam2 where conversations can stack and even nest. As far as I understand JEE6/JSR-299/Weld, I cannont simply start a new conversation by a link parameter (I can propagate the existing conversation using <f:param name="cid" value="..."/>). Is this correct? Or is there a way to start new conversations via a link?

Regards, Bernhard

PS: Example: A person search results in a list of persons. Each entry in this list has an "edit" link which is supposed to open a new  area (in the same browser tab!) with a "editPerson.xhtml" view. The view should be backed by a @ConversationScoped CDI bean. Sounds simple, but how can I do that?

oops, wrong forum. should go to the weld forum, sorry to bother you.

If you've already found an answer on the weld forums great. If not, this is pretty easy to do. In your action method you simply call the injected Conversation.begin() method When you want to end the conversation you call the end() method. Unless you're doing a GET JSF request you won't need the cid param, it's already in the component tree.
