Hi Pete,

I don't know whether you can a functionality to Seam conversation Manager.java: as long as a user start @Begin, system will add propagation=none to the current/active conversation, then system will start a new current/active conversation. If you like, I can create JIRA. Thank you very much.

Hi Pete,

How about, as long as system get @Begin, system will start a new front conversation, and set other conversation back to time-off. If @Begin with a Id, system will check existing conversatin list, if found, system retrieve it, otherwise system create a new conversation. Can you think about the idea? Really appreciate it.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for your reply. Now I have not fully understood the Seam conversation strategy, but I think that if you remove the

begin method invoked from a long running conversation, try using @Begin(join=true)

Hi Pete,

Thank you so much for your patiently responding my questions. In fact, I have an idea to use conversation browse bean. User can browsing the search results, then he/she can either create a new instance or edit an existing instance through another conversation bean from the browsing page. After he/she finishes, the user can go back the previous conversation browse bean. However, I couldn't get it work. The codes are as following. Thank you very much in advance.
