I was referring to the method binding expression in your transition that would return the navigation outcome. On my dialogs I usually have a NEXT button that I reuse via Tiles. It has an action attribute of "#{someBackingBean.next}". This gives the specific dialog a chance to do some final cleanup before transitioning to the next dialog step. One example would be to check the user's submitted value and see if there is already a similar value in the database. If there is, the navigation outcome would point to a "Are you Sure?" type screen? So I was thinking that you could also dump the ref to the session bean at this point. But then I changed my mind. It seems like #{dialog.data} is a more logical place. That is what it was designed for after all. As you say, if you go back to the screen it will be more efficient then recreating the bean all over again. > -Rahul sean --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
