Hello,

I am running Seam 1.2.0 in a Tomcat 6 container.
I am using the JPA to access my database.
DB access works fine for "simple" controllers by
adding

@In
private EntityManager em;

and then use

em.createQuery.....


In order to load reference data I want to write my own
StartupServletContextListener e.g.

public class MyStartupServletContextListener extends org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener{


public void contextInitialized(javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent event){

ServletContext srvcon = event.getServletContext();


}

The context listener is registered in the web.xml file.

How can I access the EntityManager in my contextInitialized method ?

The same way than in my controllers will cause a Nullpointer...


The same problem occurs when trying to write my own
SessionListener :-(
