FacesExpressions.isFacesContextActive()

[vladimir.kovalyuk]

public class FacesExpressions extends Expressions
{

 protected boolean isFacesContextActive()
 {
 return FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()==null;
 }

The result is true when there is no active faces context. Is it ok?

no active faces context

What does this mean?

[vladimir.kovalyuk]

Ok, another side:
isFacesContextActive() returns false when handling JSF request (and active Faces context exists).

Given source code is an excerpt from Seam 2.0.1 CR1 build.

Thats because it should be

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance() != null

surely.
