Hello,

I have a couple of servlets that I need to explicitly pass in the cid param to. I just noticed that the cid is incorrect if a nested conversation was just ended. Params in the url show cid=XX and parentConversationId=XX.. Obviously the cid is incorrect because the conversation is maintained until after the redirect (I could use endBeforeRedirect but I need the messaging).

So the question is how can I get the correct cid as a parameter for my servlet?

The following method does the trick, but it terribly stupid..

public String getCid() {
 FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) context.getExternalContext().getRequest();
 String id = Conversation.instance().getId();
 if (Conversation.instance().isNested()) {
 String parentId = request.getParameter("parentConversationId");
 if (parentId != null)
 id = Conversation.instance().getParentId();
 String convProp = request.getParameter("conversationPropagation");
 if (convProp != null && convProp.equals("end"))
 id = Conversation.instance().getParentId();
 }
 return id;
 }

Is there an improved way to do this? (I am using seam 1.3a so maybe there is something in 2.0?)

thanks for any help,
Dustin
