Hi,

I am using
Jboss 6.0.0 Final
with standard libs.

I try to make a little ConversationScoped bean:

import javax.enterprise.context.Conversation;
import javax.enterprise.context.ConversationScoped;
@Named
@ConversationScoped
public class ViewBean implements Serializable {

@Inject
    private Conversation conversation;

public void start() {
    if (conversation.isTransient()) {
        System.out.println("START CONVERSATION");
        conversation.begin();

    }
}

I tried to call the start method using @PostConstruct as well as using:
        <f:metadata>
            <f:event type="preRenderView" listener="#{viewBean.start}" />
        </f:metadata>

RequestScoped Beans and SessionScoped beans work as expected, but the conversation is always transient.
I debuged as following:
- Open the JSF page
- The start method is beeing called
- The conversation is started
- I hit reload in my browser
- The start method is beeing called
- The conversation is transient..........is that correct?

So is changed it to:
   
   @Postconstruct
    public void start() throws IOException {
        if (conversation.isTransient()) {
            System.out.println("START CONVERSATION");
            conversation.begin();
        }
            FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().dispatch("jsfpageXY.xhtml?cid="+conversation.getId());
    }

- Open the JSF page
- Exception is thrown:
