No page context active when using Events in WS

[nickarls]

I have a WebService that updates stuff in the database and I would like to raise an event when it is done so that the clients can reload their data

The endpoint is seam-enabled with org.jboss.seam.webservice.SOAPRequestHandler so I can use Components.getInstance to do the work but when I try to use Events.instance().raiseEvent I end up with a

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No page context active

     at org.jboss.seam.ScopeType.getContext(ScopeType.java:120)

     at org.jboss.seam.Component.outjectAttribute(Component.java:1664)

     at org.jboss.seam.Component.outjectAttributes(Component.java:1617)

     at org.jboss.seam.Component.outject(Component.java:1470)

     at org.jboss.seam.core.BijectionInterceptor.aroundInvoke(BijectionInterceptor.java:47)

<snip>

Is there a way to raise an event from there? If not, how should the signal be sent? Through some application scoped component?

Could you post the full stack trace?

Aah, nevermind. I seems to be working. The observer was in a class that wanted to do some outjection after the observer had been called...
