Error accessing component inside filter

[fkj]

Searching on the web I saw that to access a Seam component inside a Servlet it's necessary to enable the context-filter at components.xml, setting the url-pattern with the same pattern that the servlet is mapped. After that I could use Component.getInstance("componentName") inside the Servlet.

Is there any difference to perform this in a Filter? I did the procedure described and I get the exception shown bellow. I verified the web.xml and my filter is mapped after Seam Filter.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Felipe

Could you resolve it? I have the same problem.

I was porting an application from Spring to Seam. The authentication logic was inside a filter, but I ended up using Seam's authentication since it's more interesting.

I recently had this issue when using a Thread. This solved the problem:

Maybe it works for filters too.
