I got it to work by starting the conversation with a factory method instead of just relying on the page load method.
I made the following adjustments: @Out(scope=ScopeType.CONVERSATION, value="adminUserList", required=false) | private List<User> users; | | @Out(required=false, scope=ScopeType.CONVERSATION) @Valid | private User editingUser; | | ... | @Begin(join=true) | @Factory("adminUserList") | public String onLoad() ... | And in the xhtml: <t:dataTable | value="#{adminUserList}" | var="_user" ... That got me past my problem, but I'd still like to know what I am missing in terms of why the load method called from the pages.xml didn't cause a conversation to be started but the factory method did.
