According to this statement in the JavaDoc for the release() method:<br><br>"The implementation must call setCurrentInstance(javax.faces.context.FacesContext) passing null to remove the association between this thread and this dead FacesContext instance."<br>
<br>If the call FacesContext.getCurrentInstance() returns null, then the FacesContext for the current thread has been released.<br><br>With that said, I do believe that it would be reasonable to have a getReleased() method to compliment release() as is true of the getResponseComplete() and getRenderResponse() methods for responseComplete() and renderResponse().<br>

I notice that a lot of places in the JSF code call assertNotReleased(facesContext), but is there any way to tell if a context has been released?<br>
<br>
The only method i see is "release()"<br>
<br>
It would be useful to be able to determine the state of this field. Feelings?
