When working with ConversationScoped Beans and AJAX, you always have to be careful not to run into BusyConversationExceptions.

<h:inputField value="#{conversationScopedBean.bar}" …>
<f:ajax event="change" render="@this" … />
</h:inputfield>

<h:commandButton … action="fooAction.proceed" />
[/xhtml]

When you change the input and click on the commandButton, without triggering the change event by exiting the field first, you will encounter a BusyConversationException. This happens because the click triggers the change event firing an AJAX request, immediately followed by the button’s submit.
