When the user attempts to go to a page that is protected by a must be logged in trap (in components.xml) I present the login page.
This works fine, for login, and I get back to the page I was trying to get to when the John logs in.

However... This page also allows the user to register AND also auto-logs them in at the end of the rego process.

@End
  @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED)
    public String processCaptcha() {
            String valueToBeReturned = null;
         
            if (user.getAvatar() == null || user.getAvatar().getName() == null || user.getAvatar().getName().equals("")) {
              // The user didn't upload an image so clear this image holder.
              user.setAvatar(null);
         }

         em.persist(user);

         if (!Identity.instance().isLoggedIn()) {
             Identity.instance().setUsername(user.getEmail());
             Identity.instance().setPassword(encryptionController.decrypt(user.getPassword()));
             try {
                 Identity.instance().authenticate();
                  valueToBeReturned = "success";
                  user = null;
                  facesMessages.addFromResourceBundle(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO,"entity_user_create_successful");

                  try {
                       renderer.render("/WEB-INF/pages/user/registerSuccessful.xhtml");
                       log.info("Welcome Email sent!");
                  } catch (Exception e) {
                       log.info("Email sending failed: "+e);
                  }
             
             } catch (LoginException le) {
                 log.error("Could not login using party I just created." + le);
                 valueToBeReturned = null;
             }
         }
         return valueToBeReturned;
    }

This is causing a problem...

Registering is a multi paged exercise... so my thinking was to make it a NESTED conversation so that when the conversation ended I would pop out to the outer conversation and automagically it would realise that I as now logged in and return to the returnToCapturedView as if I had just logged in.

Ok, it was ambitious; and it didn't work.

Any suggestions?
