Faces context is null

[Hasnain Badami]

Hi

 

I am trying to implement a security filter. In the doFilter method if I am trying to get the faces context using FacesContext.getCurrentInstance() but this instruction returns null.

Any idea of why this is happening?

 

Actually on authentication failure I would like to reload the login page and the main purpose of getting the facescontext is to get the navigationhandler and load the login page. Any alternative ideas would be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks
