Is it possible to grab the FacesContext in a @WebRemote meth

[indyjones]

FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

Gives me a null pointer...

[indyjones]

in a @WebRemote method i have...

FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

Which throws a null pointer...

I'm not at all convinced that there should be any faces context available there...

There is no FacesContext in a remoting (non-JSF) request.

I don't think thats possible either. Try ServletContexts.instance().getRequest().getSession() but they will probably give you nulls, too.

ServletContexts is correctly set with the HttpServletRequest for a remoting request, so yes you can use it.
