Navigation between long running natural conversations

enda Apr 21, 2008 6:18 AM

Hello,

I tried all options in seam 2.0.2.CR1 to navigate from one long running natural conversation to another one.

Lets say conversation from a person=121 to a car=22.

What I can do is nested conversation or join. But I want from a person open a new conversation for a car and keep both conversations separated. Seam does not work when I specify conversationName and conversationPropagation NONE in my link, and then begin a new conversation. It redirects somewhere and browser freezes (no exception but browser does not redirect)

Now my solution is to use a third page that I redirect to from a person when propagation is NONE. From here I am redirecting to a car and beginning new conversation.

I would like to have just two pages to do that.
Some one has a better solution?

Thanks Tomas

hi Tomas.

try to do this, when you start conversation.

<begin-conversation join="true"/>

Or you can try with:

<s:link view="#{link}" pageflow="#{pageflow}" propagation="begin" value="NEW PAGEFLOW" />

I think that this will produce just one conversation, What if I want to keep 2 conversations one for person and one car?

I think that this may work for long running conversations, but for natural one I get exception that long running conversation is already active.

I got answer to nested natural conversations here jira

I will double check both solutions you have send me as I get to work.

Thank you Tomas

Well here is the result,
I used this code

<s:link id="test" action="#{examExecutionActionManager.select}" view="/private/contest/examExecutionHome.seam" pageflow="#{examExecutionHomeFlow}" propagation="begin" value="NEW PAGEFLOW">  <f:param name="examExecutionHome" value="#{reservation.examExecution.id}" /> </s:link>

This creates an implicit conversation for examExecution instead of creating a natural conversation as defined in pages.xml
I tried to use <s:conversationName../> but it des not work.

Is there something for 2.0.2.GA in JIRA that I should wait for?

Please file a FR in JIRA clearly describing your use case and we'll see what we can do (be it docs or code).

First, i am sorry to partly hijack this thread, but i cannot find anything on my problem, nobody is answering to my post(s), and this thread is almost what i need... I really hope that someone on the Seam team will answer...

What i'd really like is to have to pages with each one having a long running conversation (the UI is several tabs keeping their own state, and the user can navigate between them). I cannot use Session scope because of the memory requirements...

So i tried a lot of things and ended with this (i believed at some point that this was working...):

Maybe there is a key concept that i have not understood. Please help!!!
