[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - making custom user-object available to Seam context

I am struggling a little bit with the logic of the Seam context. Currently we get "RequiredException: @In attribute requires non-null value" messages after the user has logged in. Requirement: on authentication, an ApplicationUser object should be made available to Seam-context for later usage. Current solution: our authenticator-class is supposed to outject a property to the Seam-context: @Out private ApplicationUser applicationUser; or, alternatively, make itself available : @Name("authenticator") public class Authenticator {.... However, none of both is available in the Seam-context after the user has logged in! I suppose, the reason is that once Authenticator.authenticate() returns true indicating successfull authentication, Seams Identity-class expires the current context and creates a new context. Hence, both objects, applicationUser and authenticator, are LOST. So, what is best practise to make our custom user-object available to the session? org.jboss.seam.security.Identity doesn't offer something like "setAttribute".
