SessionContext injection throws NullPointerException

[milli]

Hi,

I have a problem injecting sessionContext in to a util class. However it works in session scoped(haven't tried other scopes) seam component.

For example:

It works here:

@Name("seamComp")
@Scope(SESSION)
public Class SeamComp
{
@In private Context sessionContext;

.....

}

But it does not work if have a util class like this: It throws NullPointerException

public Class SessionManager
{
@In private Context sessionContext;

.....
}

Or even if tried to pass sessionContext from seamComp to a SessionManager method as a parameter, it throws NullPointerException inside SessionManager.
I also tried Contexts.getSessionContext() instead of injection and it is the same behaviour.

I can't understand why and I would appreicate any help.

Thanks a lot

The docs discuss accessing the session context (not by injection btw) in section 3.1.8.
