the conversation concepts are different - you don't have to think about special things like sub-flows or nested conversations because you get the concept of parallel conversations. + conversations are decoupled from the type-safe navigation (you can use both but you don't have to).
if you don't group conversation scoped beans, they exist in parallel. you can group beans which should exist in the same logical conversation-group. closing one group won't affect other groups. e.g. if you have a booking-wizard and in the middle of it, you have to display a registration wizard, you don't have to think about something like a sub-flow. just open the registration-wizard and at the end of it close the conversation of the bean/s behind the registration-wizard. the conversation scoped beans of the booking-wizard won't get affected and you can continue with the wizard. regards, gerhard http://www.irian.at Your JSF powerhouse - JSF Consulting, Development and Courses in English and German Professional Support for Apache MyFaces 2011/7/5 Hampus Wingren <[email protected]> > What about subflows?
