I'm getting this error (No application context active) when invoking a web service on 2.1 from a client on another server. The service is included in an ear file which is a successfully deployed app.

My webservice is doing something identical to the seambay example:

e.g.    CategoryAction catAction = (CategoryAction) Component.getInstance(
            CategoryAction.class, true);

The error occurs trying to call 'Component.getInstance'...

The non-seam aspect of the service works just no seam context or injection - I read that I have to configure a url/servlet mapping but don't know where to do this. I look at the seambay example and do not see where a servlet mapping so that it has an application context.

thanks
