Context active problem

[alex_ro_bv]

Hello everyone, I've developed an application using seam.
This web application is composed by several modules which are being built in jar at install task from ant. The problem is occurred when I try to use the Component.getInstance(....) within one of those jars. It raises me :

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No application context active
        at org.jboss.seam.Component.forName(Component.java:1799)
        at org.jboss.seam.Component.getInstance(Component.java:1849)
        at org.jboss.seam.Component.getInstance(Component.java:1832)
        at org.jboss.seam.Component.getInstance(Component.java:1826)
        at fr.datasystem.atlas.transport.common.businessConcept.pricing.Price.convertIntoNewCurrency(Price.java:84)
        at fr.datasystem.atlas.transport.common.businessConcept.pricing.PriceTest.convertIntoNewCurrency(PriceTest.java:22)

The bean that I am looking for is also in this jar, it has a    local annotation, a name and normally it would work if this code would have been placed in my jar...
But I need it in a lib/jar and has inside the jar a WEB-INF/components.xml properly configured but still raises me that exception. What could be the problem for that? Anyone knows? Thanks.

Are you calling Component.getInstance() from within a Seam component?

No, I don't! After a few tests I've realized that this was the problem, but because of the fact that I can't make the calling bean an ejb, I'm stuck on this.I've found an workaround which I'll try...

I'm having a similar problem: I'm trying to forward a JMX notification to an application scoped bean.  What was your workaround?
