I have been struggling with conversations for a while even after having implemented 2 SEAM applications and now in the midst of another. Finally, someone says it like it is. Oftentimes, the official SEAM documentation just glosses over all these ugly stuff and harps on the great functionalities that SEAM offers to the world until...poor developers like me keep banging their heads on the wall....haha. Reading your article is like the revelation. Good job, man! Many thanks. ;-) Thanks alot for this wonderful sharing!

So from this day forward, I will use your line of thinking and no longer use nester conversations. Many thanks.

However, I tend not to use nested conversations.

In addition, we have found you have to be quite careful using SMPC with nested conversations, since even though the conversation is nested, the PC is not, so you may end up persisting things which you didn't intend to persist.
