Hello,

Suppose I have this CONVERSATION scoped component:

@Stateful
@Name("blogEntryCreate")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
@Restrict("#{identity.loggedIn}")
public class BlogEntryCreateBean implements LocalBlogEntryCreate {
...
    @Out(required = false)
    private BlogEntry newBlogEntry;
    
    @Begin(join = true)
    public void addBlogEntry() {
        newBlogEntry = new BlogEntry();
    }

    @End
    public void persist() {
        ...
        blogEntryDAO.persist(newBlogEntry);
        FacesMessages.instance().add("BlogEntry created.");
    }
...
}

The create blogEntry procedure is started by this s:link:

<s:link action="#{blogEntryCreate.addBlogEntry()}" view="/xcms/blog/blogEntryCreate.xhtml" value="BlogEntry Create"/>

Well, my question is pretty simple. As you can see, the @Begin(join=true) doesn't really start a new conversation for each browser-tab in which the user wants to start a new adding procedure. Instead, it joins the new tab that adds the blogEntry to the old conversation. But, if there is some data added to the newBlogEntry variable from the other already started conversations (from previous browser-tabs) they will also be available on the newBlogEntry variable from the newly 'started' conversation. In other words, there isn't really started a new conversation, only joined an existing one.

I have only added join=true to get rid of the exception:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: begin method invoked from a long-running conversation, try using @Begin(join=true) on method: addBlogEntry

My question is: how can I start a really NEW conversation in each tab even if a long running conversation is already opened? Or what other design/approach do you suggest?

Thank you in advance for any hint,

Bogdan.
