I see, yes, that could explain it as Spring is creating proxies all over the place to make some of the annotations work. However I am not doing anything in the constructors, but for instance, if I set a property on a backing bean (conversation.access scope), when I click on a button that value seems to have been lost, as if I was accessing another object... probably something to do with proxies as well and orchestra?
Thanks!
