Filter on Seam application

[armita]

Could you please tell me how can I access my Seam components in a Filter class?
I have tryed:
UserLogic userLogic = (UserLogic) Component.getInstance("userLogic",false);
Which returns null
and

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
UserLogic userLogic = (UserLogic) ctx.lookup("mcipro/UserLogicAction/local");

which returns ok but trying to access a method of it gives:
javax.ejb.EJBException: java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.jboss.ejb3.tx.Ejb3TxPolicy.handleExceptionInOurTx(Ejb3TxPolicy.java:69)

Perhaps you could chain the SeamServletFilter in before your filter to initialise all of the Seam stuff before it gets to your custom filter.

Don't know if this will work but just a thought.

Yes, that ,might work. But if you do that, you should make sure you *don't* use SeamPhaseListener or subclasses.

Personally I would avoid use of a servlet filter for this, and try to do the work in a phase listener.

My filter is last in the chain but still is not working.

But I couln't understand why a standard EJB lookup gives me errors?
