How are the fields on a seam-gen-ed Edit page synchronized with the instance in 
the EntityHome? I know they work when you save or update the instance, but what 
if you navigate to another page in the same conversation and come back to the 
edit page? How can you maintain the state of all the text fields on the page so 
user changes are not lost? Is there a way to do this without persisting the 
entity?

I have a simple create/edit page generated from seam-gen 1.2 that uses the 
EntityHome to handle persistence. I also have a field with a lookup button next 
to it that allows users to lookup information on a search screen that is used 
to populate the Create/Edit pages' form fields.. The user clicks the button and 
is presented another search screen. When the user searches and finds what is 
wanted s/he select the appropriate record and is sent back to the Create/Edit 
page. When s/he is returned to the Create/Edit page any fields that the user 
had filled in but not saved are empty. It was my understanding that the 
EntityHome would maintian the state of all values on my Create/Edit page since 
this is done in a conversation manner. (I have verified when the user moves 
from the create/edit page to the search page and back again, it all happens in 
the same conversation). But something is happening when the "Lookup" button is 
clicked where the input text fields are not updating the En!
 tity instance in the EntityHome.
