This is the solution I'd prefer.
And last but not least (I know, Simon did not like it ;-) ), if you follow the ViewController concept (easiest using the @ViewController annotation), you are able to use the special "viewController" scope for such beans which means: For this bean use the same scope and conversation as your view controller does. So you have to define it only once, but get two different instances for each conversation. Ciao, Mario
