Inject Application-Scope Component in SessionListener

[nimo22]

I have tried to inject a Seam managed Component (Application-Scope) in a HttpSessionListener. It is not working!

I get the failure:

Session event listener threw exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
     at com.MyListener.sessionCreated(MyListener.java:43)
     at org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession.tellNew(StandardSession.java:397)
     at org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession.setId(StandardSession.java:369)

     at org.apache.catalina.connector.Request.getSession(Request.java:2075)
     at org.apache.catalina.connector.RequestFacade.getSession(RequestFacade.java:833)

public class myListener implements HttpSessionListener {

So I assoume, that the injected Instance is not available when the Listener begins..

Any Ideas?

The problem is solved.

At first, at had inject it in my listener via:

@In
MyListener myListener

This does not work!

I have changed it to

MyListener myListener = new MyListener();

Now it works!

It s strange, as I had thought, that Seam injects a new Instance automatically, when I annotate it with @In. However, this is not the case!
