JBoss 4.2.3, retrieve HttpServletRequest from LoginModule

[magsy]

Hello,

I've read that this should return the HttpServletRequest from a LoginModule:

PolicyContext.getContext("javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest");

However, it returns null. The PolicyContext has a number of different handlers/keys, but null is returned for each.

Is there something I need to do to enable this feature so the PolicyContext is populated with a reference to the servlet request as opposed to null?

Thanks

John

It looks like the code works when called from the EJB layer, calling the login module?
