Join natural conversation ? how ??

Hey I do not think that it is possible to merge your named conversation as you have in documentation in general example?

 <h:commandLink
 action="#{teamManager.select(team)}" value="select">
 <s:conversationName value="teamHome"/>
 </h:commandLink>

 <conversation name="teamHome"
 parameter-name="teamName"
 parameter-value="team-#{team.id}"/>

As I understand from your documentation I have to use <s:conversationName value="teamHome"/> in my link to merge conversations, but I make my conversation name by team.id that is what the best choice is ;D. But how can they join them when team is going to be selected and and I am already asking for its id, even though that it is not selected yet!

ex.

existing Conv1 -> team.id=1
new Conv2 -> team.id=null ; select(team) ; team.id=1 => crash
it takes value from team.id=null

Did I miss something in documentation?

My working solution that is such a hack but now I see the power we have ;D

Please comment it or provide better solution

public String select(Team team) {
 conversationId = team.getId().toString();
 ConversationEntries.getInstance().updateConversationId(Conversation.instance().getId(),
 conversationId);
 Set<String> existingIds = ConversationEntries.getInstance().getConversationIds();
 for (String existingConversationId : existingIds) {
 String[] split = existingConversationId.split(":");

 if(split.length == 2 && conversationId.equals(split[1])) {

 getFacesMessages().add("Conversation already exists");
 ConversationEntries.getInstance().getConversationEntry(existingConversationId).
 redirect();
 return null;

 }
 }

 return super.select(team);
 }

Did you look at the seambay example? This has an example of natural conversations.
