If I call the following from inside a backing bean, everything works fine: User user = (User) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSessionMap().get(Constants.USER_KEY);
However, if I make the same call from an object in the session or from a utilty class, I get a null pointer on "FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()". Can the FacesContext be accessed from outside of a backing bean? Thx. Mike __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
