Accessing bean in @Filter

[toby451]

This is probably simple, but I am really stuck.

I have a filter. I also have an application scoped
component containing "global settings" for the
application.

Here's the problem: I need to retrieve a field from
the component in the filter.

How do I do that?

Any ideas much appreciated!

Look at SeamFilter.init() for an example, it creates an application context.

Thanks for your quick response! Works fine.

I'll post it here as well (for anyone in the same situation):

 public void init(FilterConfig config) throws ServletException {
 Lifecycle.mockApplication();
 try {
 ApplicationSettings settings = (ApplicationSettings) Component.getInstance("applicationSettings");
 foo = settings.getFoo();
 } finally {
 Lifecycle.unmockApplication();
 }
 }
