Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade our application from Seam 1.2.1 to Seam 2.0.1, but the webapplication is not working as expected and I have a hard time figuring out what's wrong.

The problem seems to be that all my SFSBs disappear at the end of the request-response cycle, even though I start a long running conversation through a page event.

I figured this, because the SFSBs do not show up in the current conversation, when looking at the debug.seam page. Furthermore the application starts to work, if I change the scope of the SFSB the SESSION scope.

Then I see them in the session and everything is working. This is really weird and I don't know what to do. Has anybody experienced such kind of behaviour?

Here is the exception and the config files:
