FacesContext is null at Session startup???

[monkeyden]

I have the following JavaBean which starts up with the session:

@Startup
@Scope(SESSION)
@Name("userSession")
public class UserSession implements Serializable {
...

 @Create
 public void create(){
 FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 ExternalContext ext = ctx.getExternalContext();
 HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest)ext.getRequest();
 }
...
}

I have thought through the request lifecycle and can't see a reason why FacesContext would be null at this stage, but it is.

Ideally, I'd like to log the user in here if they have Remember Me turned on.

I attempted to duplicate this, and FacesContext was not null for me.

Hi,

I have the same problem. At @create method the faces context is null. I´m using Seam 2.0.0GA, Tomcat6.

@Name("appContext")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
public class ApplicationContext implements Serializable {

...

 @Create
 public void inicializar() {
 FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 loadConfig();
 }

Monkeyden, how did you solve this? I think it could be a configuration issue but I wasn´t able to find
