Right! > Any idea of why this is happening? FacesContext is setup inside of FacesServlet.service() ([1]) for each request. So your filter is called before service() is call. That's why you get a null value. > 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. J2EE based security might be usful. Or ou may try a PhaseListener instead, which is called *inside* the Faces framework.
