Hi,

I am having a problem where I am experiencing different behaviour when testing and running the same ear file. When I use Arquillian Seam extension to invoke the application logic, everything is fine. When I try to deploy the same EAR file to Jboss 7.1, I have a problem whereby some values are not being outjected to the SessionContext successfully. I am using Seam 2.3.1 and Jboss 7.1.

I have a scenario like this :

-User navigates to login.xhtml

-Populates userName and Password

-Clicks the submit button which invokes #{identity.login}

-#{identity.login} invokes my custom AuthenticatorBean

-AuthenticatorBean->authenticate method is executed.

-during execution of the authenticate-method I manually use Contexts.getSessionContext.set("user",userEntity) to put the user into the session and additionally log out the result of calling "Contexts.getSessionContext.get("user",userEntity)" to ensure the user is actually in the session.(It is)

The problem is that after the authenticate-method is called and the next view is rendered, there is no user in the SessionContext...even though I manually inserted it into the sesionContext in the authenticate-method. To make matters even more confusing, if I take the exact same EAR file and test it with the Seam Arquillian extension the user then is populated in the sessionContext correctly.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated...
