Multiple wars: Contexts.getSessionContext() is null in other war

Hey all,

I am using Seam 2.2.1.CR1 on Weblogic 10.3.2 and JSF 1.2.

I have an ear application with 2 war files. When I set things in the Session context in the first web application:

Contexts.getSessionContext().set("pimUser", pimUser);

I cannot access it in the other web application:

PimUser user1 = (PimUser) Contexts.getSessionContext().get("pimUser");

I noticed that the Javadoc of the

org.jboss.seam.contexts.Contexts

Says:

Provides access to the current contexts associated with the thread.

Does this mean that the 2 war files are supposed to have different Contexts.getSessionScope()?

I found a way which does allow me to access it through the Session like this:

PimUser user2 = (PimUser) httpRequest.getSession().getAttribute("pimUser");

The latter way, however does not seem to be a correct one. I would like to access Seam session context through Seam.

I found that there used (?) to be issues with Seam and multi-war appplications, however, these must have been resolved by 2.2.0.GA.
