On the SeamPhaseListener class, at the beginning for beforePhase() method, it calls Lifecycle.setPhaseId(event.getPhaseId()). Then at the end of the afterPhase() method, it calls Lifecycle.setPhaseId(null);

What if the call Lifecycle.setPhaseId(null) is omitted or removed from the afterPhase() method, what is the side-affect of this?

I am asking this because I recently integrated Seam into my application which already has some Apache Shale Remoting feature, the Shale remoting features is broken after the Seam integration. I tested a temporary patch by extending the SeamPhaseListener and override the afterPhase() method like this.

@Override
 public void afterPhase(PhaseEvent p_event) {
 super.afterPhase(p_event);
 //Patch for Shale Remoting error
 Lifecycle.setPhaseId(p_event.getPhaseId());
 }
